What is primary type 2 osteoporosis?

Affecting individuals over 70, primary type 2 osteoporosis is a common bone disease characterized by the gradual loss of both inner trabecular and outer cortical bone. This age-related condition, also known as senile osteoporosis, affects both men and women, with women twice as likely to be diagnosed. Unlike postmenopausal osteoporosis, it is not primarily caused by hormonal changes but by a combination of aging factors.
