Solution

Osteoporosis is a weakening of the bones due to a decrease in bone density and improper bone formation. It makes bones fragile and increases the risk of fractures. In female athletes, osteoporosis can be caused by disordered eating and menstrual dysfunction and may ruin a sporting career due to stress fractures and other injuries.
