Osteoporosis is the bone disorder in which bone resorption outpaces bone deposit, leaving the person with thin and often very fragile bones. Osteomalacia and rickets are both disorders characterized by inadequate mineralization of bone due to insufficient calcium and/or vitamin D, while Paget's disease is a disorder of abnormal bone remodeling.
