Hi Carla, interesting article. When you say fracture - are you referring to those who experience fractures 'easily' (i.e. may have low bone density) vs those who may have broken bones through more extreme events such as impact breaks? I have strong bones and high muscle mass but have broken a couple of bones from sporting / adventure activities... it may indicate that I'm more likely to die prematurely from a lack of impulse control I suppose :-P
Hi Simone... It's a great question! ... and there are no real objective guidelines on what constitutes a "reasonable fracture" that anyone might sustain from an impact during trauma or sporting accident. The study did not make this distinction, but it is a study of the general population, so it was likely a history of any type of fracture.
Hi Nancy! Thank you for reaching out and for reading the article. Sure! Please feel free to share the article in your studies column. If you don't mind adding a link to my blog that would be fabulous... here's the link: https://www.athleticaging.blog/
