Bizarre theory explains why you've never broken a bone - doctor responds
- Experts say bone strength is largely inherited, affecting density and skeletal build.
- Age reduces bone density over time, increasing fracture risk for many people.
- Menopause can heighten fracture risk due to reduced oestrogen protection.
- Calcium intake, vitamin D, and weight-bearing exercise help strengthen bones.
- Lifestyle factors like smoking, heavy drinking, and inactivity raise fracture risk.
- Family history is a major indicator of bone health, according to the Royal Osteoporosis Society.
