Bone health should never be ignored and no matter what your age is you are always at risk of poor bone health. Though bone weakens with age, it never costs too much to take care of the structural framework of the body from an early age.
Usually bone degrades after 40 years of age and after that the process of degeneration accelerates faster. Decreasing estrogen level, low physical activity, reduced calcium in diet, consumption of tobacco and smoking degrade bone mass.
Hormones also impact bone health. “Too much thyroid hormone can cause bone loss. In women, bone loss increases dramatically at menopause due to dropping estrogen levels. Prolonged absence of menstruation (amenorrhea) before menopause also increases the risk of osteoporosis. In men, low testosterone levels can cause a loss of bone mass,” experts at MayoClinic say.
