Bones reach their peak mass between the ages of 19 and 30. After this age, the goal is to maintain as much bone mass as possible. Bone mineral loss is influenced by hormones, nutrition, physical activity and genetics. One in four women over the age of 50 has osteoporosis, a condition in which the bones become weaker and break more easily. Curved backs, loss of height and easily broken bones are signs of osteoporosis.
See your doctor, dietitian or nutritionist for information on other factors that affect your risk of osteoporosis.
