Osteoporosis is caused by a lack of _______ in the diet.

Calcium
Iron
Protein
Vitamin C

The correct answer is: Calcium

Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by weak and brittle bones. Calcium is essential for building and maintaining strong bones, so a lack of calcium in the diet can lead to the development of osteoporosis. Adequate calcium intake, along with vitamin D, is crucial for bone health. Iron, protein, and vitamin C have important roles in the body, but they are not directly linked to the development of osteoporosis due to dietary deficiencies.
