Why do people's bones become more brittle as they aged?
user
In people over the age of 50, bones become more brittle due to gradual reduction of bone density and overall quality. This is due to a natural combination of loss of strong bone mass and padding in the interior structure. Without proper supplementation and healthy lifestyle throughout life, the body has less capacity to absorb and retain enough of the essential minerals necessary to produce strong, dense bones.  The process of bone degradation is sometimes referred to as "osteoporosis", and this type of bone degradation is often linked to aging and increased frailty. Seniors over the age of 50 should take multi-vitamin supplements to improve diet and nutritional intake to help compensate for bone loss and degradation. In addition, engaging in regular physical activity supporting weight-bearing exercise, and avoiding prolonged periods of immobility, reduce the risk of heightened bone loss.

Bone tissue undergoes a gradual process of degradation and weakening as a person grows older.  As we age, our bones lose mass and become more fragile, making them more susceptible to injury and bone fractures.  Degenerative processes related to the gradual weakening of our bones are known as osteoporosis, and these are mainly affected by a number of different factors including genetic susceptibility, hormonal status, and overall health and nutrition status.  In addition, some medical conditions and treatments for other health conditions can also accelerate the onset of osteoporosis and bone degradation.  Current recommendations for people concerned about the onset of osteoporosis include maintaining a healthy diet with sufficient levels of calcium and vitamin D, engaging in regular physical activity, and avoiding excessive use of alcohol.  In addition, it is important to monitor health conditions that can increase the risk of osteoporosis, such as hyperthyroidism,
