Type your response in the box. when people lose too much bone density as they age—or never reach peak bone density to begin with—they can develop a condition called osteoporosis. people with osteoporosis have what are called brittle bones and an increased risk of fractures. anyone can get osteoporosis, but the following groups are most susceptible: all women over age 50 (women are four times more likely than men to develop osteoporosis.) people with a small skeletal frame why do you think these groups have a high risk of osteoporosis?

Plato

We know that people develop different bone densities. Because women tend to develop less-dense bones than men, they are more likely to experience serious bone loss as they age. We also know that people with thin body frames also tend to have lower bone density, which may put them at risk for osteoporosis as they age.
