Thin Bones
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
"Thin bones" is an expression that usually refers to a lower density or strength of the bones, a condition in which the bone tissue becomes more fragile than desirable. Over time, this can increase the risk of fractures with strain or minor falls.
Factors that can influence it: age, hormonal changes, diet, level of physical activity and family history.
Why it's worth addressing: caring for and strengthening bone health helps maintain mobility, posture and independence, in addition to preventing injuries.
Who can help? Care for fragile bones involves orthopedics, which assesses bone health, and physical therapy, which supports with safe exercise and mobility. If you're worried about the fragility of your bones or have a history of fractures, discussing it with these professionals is a good starting point.
