Can being underweight increase my risk of osteoporosis?

Being underweight for your height increases your risk of fractures and osteoporosis while being overweight lowers your risk. It is possible that having more fat tissue influences either the production of estrogen by fat cells or the effect of estrogen on the bones. In any event, lean women have the greatest risk of hip fractures, low bone mass, low levels of estrogen, and little fat to cushion their falls.

This is one risk factor that can be changed.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
