Prognosis and duration of disabling effects

Osteoporosis is a progressive disease, which does not necessarily cause care or mobility needs. Functional restrictions are likely to be due to fractures and the prognosis will depend on the healing of the fracture.

If awarding on the basis of Osteoporosis, an indefinite award is appropriate.
