Portuguese term or phrase: diminuição no preenchimento
Context:

Devido não só perda óssea, ou a osteoporose e osteoartrite, mas uma vida de desgastes pode enfraquecer as vértebras superiores, a menos que a pessoa mantenham regime regular de exercicios físicos. Espaços articulares e tecidos tamponantes podem sofrer desgaste e pode have perda de massa muscular. Estas mudanças favorecem diminuição no preenchimento entre os discos vertebrais, que representa uma perda de altura.

Muita Obrigada,
