They protect vital organs and provide structure to your body. Building and maintaining strong bones is important from childhood to adulthood. There are many factors that determine bone health, the most common being age. Bones become thinner as we age, with women at greater risk of osteoporosis because they have less bone tissue than men. Genetics and race also play a large role. Those who are white or of Asian descent are at a greater risk, as are those with a family history of osteoporosis. Too much of the thyroid hormone can cause bone loss, and women are likely to experience increased bone loss during menopause due to a decrease in estrogen levels.
