      Yes, ankylosing spondylitis does increase the risk of osteoporosis — a condition that causes bones to thin and weaken as they become more porous inside.

      Decreased bone mineral density is a common complication of ankylosing spondylitis. This is especially true for those who’ve had the condition for a long time.
