Team Sports During Teen Years Strengthen Adult Bones
Team Sports During Teen Years Strengthen Adult Bones - Osteoporosis is defined as a loss of bone resistance which predisposes the sufferer to fractures. It is considered to be an age-related process rather than a disease. This 'silent' condition, as it is symptom-free, affects men and especially women from the menopause onwards, i.e., after 50. It leads to a loss of bone density and fractures, mainly of the vertebrae, hip and wrist.
