What is osteoporosis? Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to become weak and brittle. This increases your risk of broken bones (fractures). Osteoporosis is a “silent” disease because you may not have symptoms. You may not even know you have the disease until you break a bone. Breaks can occur in any bone but happen most often in: Hip bones. Vertebrae in the spine. Wrist. You can take steps to help prevent osteoporosis and broken bones by: Doing weight-bearing exercises, such as walking or dancing, and lifting weights. Not drinking too much alcohol. Quitting smoking, or not starting if

¿Qué es la osteoporosis? La osteoporosis es una enfermedad que hace que los huesos se debiliten y se vuelvan quebradizos. Esto aumenta el riesgo de que se rompa un hueso (fractura). Se conoce a la osteoporosis como "la enfermedad silenciosa", ya que puede que usted no presente síntomas. Es posible que ni siquiera sepa que tiene la enfermedad hasta que se le rompa un hueso. Las fracturas pueden suceder en cualquier hueso, pero ocurren con más frecuencia en: las caderas, las vértebras de la columna, la muñeca.

Scleroderma
https://www.niams.nih.gov/health-topics/scleroderma
What is scleroderma? Scleroderma is an autoimmune connective tissue and rheumatic disease that causes inflammation in the skin and other areas of the body. This inflammation leads to patches of tight, hard skin. Scleroderma involves many systems in your body. A connective tissue disease is one that affects tissues such as skin, tendons, and cartilage. There are two major types of scleroderma: Localized scleroderma only affects the skin and the structures directly under the skin. Systemic scleroderma, also called systemic sclerosis, affects many systems in the body. This is the more serious type of scleroderma and can damage your blood

¿Qué es la esclerodermia? La esclerodermia es una enfermedad reumática autoinmunitaria del tejido conectivo que causa inflamación en la piel y otras áreas del cuerpo. Esta inflamación origina parches de piel dura y gruesa. La esclerodermia afecta muchos sistemas del cuerpo. Una enfermedad del tejido conectivo es aquella que afecta tejidos como la piel, los tendones y los cartílagos. Hay dos tipos de esclerodermia: esclerodermia localizada, que solo afecta la piel y las estructuras directamente debajo de la piel; esclerodermia sistémica, también llamada esclerosis sistémica, que afecta muchos de los sistemas del cuerpo. Este es el tipo más grave de
