Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis are both conditions that deal with the bones, although one affects mainly the joints in one area of the body and another can affect the entire length of bone in numerous areas of the body. 

Both osteoporosis and osteoarthritis are common to aging individuals, caused by wear and tear of the bones and joints, while in other cases, even younger people can be diagnosed with either condition, depending on previous injuries, weight, and lifestyle.
