    Abstract:
    Osteoporosis is the most common systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass, increased bone turnover, and subsequent increased susceptibility to fracture. The aim of this paper was to present a molecular basis of bone remodeling, pathogenesis and different types of osteoporosis. Diagnostic studies, including bone densitometry and laboratory analysis were also reviewed.
