<s>[INST] Can young people also have osteoporosis? [/INST] Yes; young adults (men and women below the age of 50) can also develop osteoporosis but much less frequently. In this event, it is advisable to analyse the presence of other illnesses, treatments or associated hormonal disorders. Occasionally, the diagnosis of osteoporosis in young people is not associated with any illness and, in some individuals, it may be related to a genetic component and the failure to achieve a sufficiently high peak bone mass.
