If I can get this transcription in with ZERO errors I can get into the 80-100 class. I need someone who hasn't been staring at it for an hour to look at it. Its very short!
Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bones become progressively more porous. This causes them to fracture easily and to heal slowly. Osteoporosis causes an estimated 1.3 million fractures a year in people 40 or older and is the 12th leading cause of death in the U.S. It is especially common following menopause.
Some people experience vertebral collapse that results in pain and loss of height and curvature of the spine. “Dowager’s hump” describes a spinal curvature that results in a stooped, humpbacked appearance.
Perhaps the most dramatic manifestation of osteoporosis is a sudden hip fracture involved in a fall. In many of these cases, the bone has really broken before the impact from the fall and may have even caused the person to fall.
