As we age, our bones naturally become more fragile, and factors like age and gender play a significant role in determining fracture risk. In older adults, especially women, bone density often decreases, increasing vulnerability to fractures. Women are particularly susceptible post-menopause due to hormonal changes that accelerate bone loss. However, men aren’t exempt—age-related bone weakening can still pose risks. This post delves into the impact of aging and gender differences on bone health, highlighting ways to prevent fractures and maintain stronger bones at any age.
