Structural
The structural system provides a framework for the body consisting of bones, muscles, skin, membranes and connective tissues, collectively giving the body form, mobility protection.
Calcium Shortage
To sustain this growth, the body must have sufficient supplies of certain nutrients including calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D.
If there is a shortage of calcium in the bloodstream, the body will remove it from the bones without replacing it.
This can eventually cause bones to become weak and porous. Unchecked, this can lead to a condition known as osteoporosis.
Bone loss appears to begin as early as age 35, and is particularly serious for women. When approaching menopause the rate of bone loss accelerates greatly, partly because of a decreased secretion of the hormone oestrogen, which helps maintain bone mass. An estimated five million women are affected by bone loss.

Activity
Men can also be affected, although the number of men experiencing serious bone loss is only about one fifth that of women.
