Kyphosis, or dowager's hump, is a common characteristic of osteoporosis, a condition where bones become weak and brittle. This causes a curvature of the spine, leading to the hump-like appearance. Fluorosis may cause skeletal changes but not specifically kyphosis, rickets typically affects leg bones, and the female athlete triad refers to a combination of disordered eating, amenorrhea, and osteoporosis, but does not necessarily result in kyphosis.
