Spine bone strength declines faster with age in women
A study of 9,298 vertebrae from 629 post-mortem human spines also found steeper losses in people with lower body mass index and minimal strength where fractures cluster.A study of 9,298 vertebrae from 629 post-mortem human spines also found steeper losses in people with lower body mass index and minimal strength where fractures cluster.
