This is because of the    sudden postmenopausal decrease in estrogen levels, which results in a rapid depletion of calcium from the skeleton.  It is  associated with fractures of the hip, wrist, or forearm caused by falls or minor accidents.

•  Low turnover osteoporosis: This occurs with age in everyone to some degree. The results when the process of resorption and formation of bone are no longer coordinated, and bone breakdown overcomes bone building. This affects both men and women and is primarily associated with leg and spinal fractures.
