Directions: ANSWER USING COMPLETE SENTENCES! Use the information you have been given to answer questions about: Osteoporosis

*To improve your MATH SKILLS spend at least 20 minutes practicing them using IXL.COM. (REMEMBER TO ENTER YOUR USER NAME AND PASSWORD WHEN LOGGING ON! THAT WILL BE PROOF THAT YOU DID IT!

Level#1

Osteoporosis is a condition that makes bones weak and brittle. This condition is due to not having enough calcium in the bones. The bones tend to shrink and are easily broken. People with osteoporosis often have backs that are bent.

1. What do you call the condition that makes bones weak and brittle?






2. What happens to the bones when a person has osteoporosis?






3. What can you notice about a person that has osteoporosis?







Level#2


Osteoporosis is a condition that makes bones weak and brittle. This condition is due to not having enough calcium in the bones. The bones tend to shrink and are easily broken. People with osteoporosis often have backs that are bent. This is because their bones have grown weak with age and their skeletons have become bent. Osteoporosis has several different causes. One main cause is a diet that is low in calcium. Over time, the body takes the calcium it needs from the bones. The bones are weakened by the loss of calcium.

1. Explain the cause of osteoporosis and what happens to the bones as a result.

2. Why do people with osteoporosis often have bent backs?

3. How does a diet low in calcium cause osteoporosis to happen?

Level#3

Osteoporosis is a condition that makes bones weak and brittle. This condition is due to not having enough calcium in the bones. The bones tend to shrink and are easily broken. People with osteoporosis often have backs that are bent. This is because their bones have grown weak with age and their skeletons have become bent. Osteoporosis has several different causes. One main cause is a diet that is low in calcium. Over time, the body takes the calcium it needs from the bones. The bones are weakened by the loss of calcium. Another cause is a decrease in certain hormones as people get older. This may be why osteoporosis usually affects middle-age and elderly people. It is a more common problem among women than men. Studies show that getting calcium in the preteen and teen years is especially important for avoiding osteoporosis.

1. Explain what osteoporosis is, what it causes, and how it affects the bones.

2. What is one main cause of osteoporosis and how does it happen?

3. What do studies show that can help a person avoid getting osteoporosis?
