Answer 1

Sue's bones have become brittle, fragile, and thin. Her doctor would most likely diagnose her with osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is an age related bone condition that occurs due to the reduction of the bone’s density and the body’s inability to produce as much bone as it initially did. The bones become weaker and increase the risk of fractures, especially in the spinal vertebrae.
