The stateâs consumer use tax is the âother halfâ of the Virginia retail sales and use tax requirements. Typically, residents incur the use tax when they purchase more than $100 worth of items in a tax year, upon which they did not pay sales tax.
Osteoporosis is a progressive skeletal disease in which bones become thin, weak, brittle, and prone to fracture. Osteoporosis literally means âporous bones.â Thinning bones are caused by loss of bone density. Calcium and other minerals contribute to the bone mineral density that helps strengthen and protect bones.
Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bones of the body become brittle making them easier to fracture (a fracture means the same thing as a break).The hips, spine and wrist are usually the first to break. Osteoporosis gradually weakens the bones so that they become susceptible to the slightest trauma.cientists are still not 100 percent sure of the causes of osteoporosis. Bone mass decreases in women naturally between 1 to 5 percent every year after the age of 40. This rate is only about 1 percent in men.
