I have been doing a lot of research on this disease Osteoporosis

@loriesco, we elders need to stay up to date. My intention is to say that osteoarthritis and osteoporosis are two different diseases. Do you think that osteoarthritis can cause osteoporosis. There I would have to object. If you tell an endocrinologist that you want to prevent osteoporosis by treating osteoarthritis, your argument won't be effective.
Just as an aside, your first link is not to be found (eliminated because of obvious, admittedly unknown, inaccuracies?), none of the following links address a relationship or ratio between osteoporosis and osteoarthritis in the hip. So we're back to AI which is fun, but constantly makes statements unsupported by the links it offers. Not that that should undermine your objection to my original statement. I willingly yield to your greater knowledge on the subjects osteoarthritis, hip surgery and osteoporosis. I'd be happy to have someone holding our toes to the fire, if mine weren't burning.

@gently The links worked for me. Additionally, you will find both directly and indirectly they address/support what I stated. This one specifically was clear and credible:
(https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/hip-arthritis) I'll copy it hear if you missed it: "Hip arthritis is USUALLY osteoarthritis, a degenerative disease that affects the cartilage in your joint."
I don't post AI stuff that I don't already think to be valid. It is more than fun -- I use it as a legitimate tool to validate my assertions. I do check for mistakes before I post. I am, however, always willing to be challenged! I approach using it in the way I've written my academic papers - in a scholarly manner. This is SERIOUS business! 😉 (I probably could have posted less for clarity.)
OA is one REASON for disease in the bones. It is one of several reasons people can find a basis for the disease of "osteoporosis." Osteoporosis is simply a term for "porous bones." OA, RA, gout, and 1200 other arthritis conditions are part of a constellation of osteoporosis - and some affect other body parts besides bones (ligaments, connective tissue).
Logically speaking, osteoporosis and OA can be the same. The point of my taking you to task is that MOST osteoporosis sufferers are aggravated by OA (as opposed to gout arthritis, erosive, RA and immune - like lupus) type diseases.
Also, you wouldn't tell the endo doc that you want to prevent osteoporosis by treating osteoarthritis -- you'd ask that of the Orthopedic doc! 😉
