Bone thickens as compact bone is deposited on the outside, just beneath the periosteum. As this compact bone forms on the surface, osteoclasts erode other bone tissue on the inside. The resulting space becomes the medullary cavity of the diaphysis, which later fills with marrow.

Why would you expect the arm bones of a weight lifter to be thicker and heavier than those of a jogger?
The larger arm muscles of the weight lifter would apply more mechanical stress to the bones of the upper limbs. In response tothat stress, the bones would grow thicker. For similar reasons, we would expect the jogger to have heavier and thicker thigh bones.
When do baby bones turn into adult bones?
Not as such. They will heal if broken, which is a kind of growth, and they can also become locally thicker if exposed to certain stresses like heavy lifting. But unless there's some disease they won't grow in length.
At what age does the sternum fuse?
Between the ages of 16 and 18, the sacrum begins to fuse, and is usually completely fused by age 26.
Can a lack of exercise cause bones to grow thicker?
Exercise can help improve bone health by increasing bone density. Some exercise can actually decrease bone density. Bones can grow thicker from exercise such as weight lifting. All exercise should be determined what is safe for the person by their doctor because of some risk involved.

Which bones are less dense bird bones or mammal bones?
Mammal bones are less dense and thicker, because they don't have to deal with the stresses of flying. The bones of a bird are thinner, and have a dense structure of internal struts that make the bone exceptionally stiff and strong.
Does your blood get thicker with age?
Yes once your died, yes
How can bones determine age?
Bone remodeling can help determine age because when a person is dead their bones shows every little mark , which on most bones displays a pattern called lamellar.
