Hi recently, my mom got osteoporosis in her hips. I went with her to the doctor for a check up. I heard that its common for women, who lacked in exercise and calcium and old age (my moms 54) to get this and the most common parts that gets this is hips, spine etc. Is there something that caused this? And why the heck osteoporosis? Thanks!

There are a bunch of things that increase the risk for getting osteoporosis. It’s not an uncommon diagnosis.
Risk factors include lack of exercise, lack of Vitamin D, lack of Calcium, Smoking, Alcohol, underweight, certain drugs, chronic inflammations, high estrogen levels etc.
It will be impossible to isolate a single cause
