Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osteomalacia is observed in adults when new bone formed during bone remodeling fails to calcify. This results in weakened and softer bones, leading to fractures and deformities. Osteoporosis and osteopenia are conditions where there is a loss of bone density, but they are not specifically related to failure of calcification. Osteogenic sarcoma is a type of bone cancer, while osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease and is not related to bone remodeling.
