Solution
The correct answer is c. Only statements X and Z are correct.
Statement X is correct because osteoporosis is indeed a disease characterized by reduced bone mass, often associated with reduced estrogen exposure.
Statement Z is correct because osteoporosis can occur in both men and women, although it is more common in women after menopause due to a decrease in estrogen levels.
Statement W is incorrect because obesity is not a risk factor for osteoporosis. In fact, it is often the opposite - underweight individuals are at a higher risk.
Statement Y is also incorrect because increased weight-bearing activity is generally recommended to slow the development of osteoporosis, not speed it up. Regular exercise, especially weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises, can help prevent bone loss and maintain bone strength.
