<s>[INST] What are the symptoms of osteoporosis? [/INST] Osteoporosis is often called the "silent" disease, because it can progress without symptoms. Without proper screening and diagnosis, a person may not know they have osteoporosis until they break a bone. Fractured bones were once the only way to tell if a person had osteoporosis. Fortunately, there are new methods today that can detect osteoporosis before a fracture occurs. Source: Malaysian Osteoporosis Society.
