How does osteoporosis affect other body systems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It effects only bone: But other body systems cause osteoporosis. Also some external causes. Thyroid, renal disease, diabetes, mal absorption. There are more. Smoking, steroid exposure being in space with 0 gravity (most of us need not worry about this).

A member asked:
I'm taking a hormone patch to help with osteoporosis. It says to change it twice a week on the same days (3 days and then 4 days). Was this system created for convenience only? If there is enough hormone for 4 days, can I just change it every 4 days?
