Osteoporosis is characterized by deterioration of bone structure and low bone mass, which leads to bone fragility and increased risk of fracture. Osteoporosis is a serious public health problem because of its potentially serious consequences for both patients and the health care system. Chronic pancreatitis is a progressive inflammatory disease that leads to exocrine and endocrine dysfunction. Exocrine dysfunction leads to a decrease in the production of digestive enzymes of the pancreas, which results in improper absorption and malabsorption of nutrients, leading to nutrient deficiency, thereby creating the conditions for the development of secondary osteopenic conditions.
