Answer:

That is true.

Explanation:

Osteoporosis promotes bone loss and people who suffer from this disease are more prone to fractures, especially in dangerous places like the hips and spine. Although some factors that promote this disease cannot be avoided, such as the genetic factor, osteoporosis can be prevented and even avoided with adequate intake of calcium, which is one of the main elements of bone mass. However, it is incorrect to say that only calcium intake is sufficient to prevent osteoporosis, as it is necessary to combine food with constant physical activity, which is capable of strengthening and promoting density to the bones.

Neutropenia.

Having too few neutrophils, a particular kind of white blood cell, leads to neutropenia. While all white blood cells aid in the body's ability to fight infections, neutrophils are particularly crucial in the battle against some illnesses, particularly those brought on by bacteria.

You may be more susceptible to infections if you have neutropenia. Even common oral and digestive system bacteria can cause significant sickness when neutropenia is severe.

A reduction in neutrophils leads to fever and infection (neutropenia). Anemia, or low red blood cell counts, contributes to AML symptoms such pallor, weakness, and weariness.

Pancytopenia, a generalized drop in all blood components, is not the reason why AML patients have fever. In AML, petechiae and bruises are brought on by thrombocytopenia, a decrease in platelet count.
