Does milk consumption increase bone density?

Research suggests that milk consumption can contribute to increased bone density due to its high calcium content, which is important for bone health. However, other factors such as overall diet, exercise, and genetics also play a role in bone density.


What bones are stronger an adult bone or a elderly bone?

Generally, adult bones are stronger than elderly bones due to factors like bone density, mineral content, and overall strength. As people age, bone density tends to decrease, making bones more susceptible to fractures and breaks. However, factors like a healthy diet, regular exercise, and proper medical care can help slow down bone density loss in older adults.


What are the effects of exercise on the bones?

Not many. Regular resistance exercise and aerobic exercise can actually help to increase bone density, reducing the risk of fractures. As with any program of exercise, consult a physician before beginning.


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.


Why does bone density increase?

Does physical exercise decrease bone density?

No, it does not decrease your bone density. Rather, exercising potentially stimulates the tissues and blood vessels around your bones, prompting them to better maintain their density. While you can take actions to promote bone health, there is little you can do to directly affect increasing or decreasing your bone density intentionally.


What is marked loss of bone density and an increase in bone porosity is known as?

Osteoporosis


Are elderly people likely to get bone fractures?

Yes, elderly people are more likely to get bone fractures due to age-related factors such as decreased bone density, muscle weakness, and balance issues. Additionally, conditions like osteoporosis can further increase the risk of fractures in older individuals.


What is the effect on your bone density after exersice?

For bone density to be effected by exercise you should use appropriate (end to end) loading.The effect of exercise on bone density depends on the exercise in question.Examples of exercise that would increase bone density are those which load the bone from one end to the other providing impact or external resistance (weight) loading through the bone i.e.- Walking/jogging - the impact of the foot striking the floor causes the leg bones to be loaded appropriately. Jogging would be better than walking as there is greater impact.- Pressing/Pushing a weight or your body (such as press ups or bench press) loads the bones in the arms appropriately whereas pulling exercises or rotating (bicep curl for instance) does not apply any such load.Cycling has some loading whereas swimming on the other hand does not load the bone and would have little benefit for increasing bone density.Note: You should be cautious of impact however as weak joints can be damaged. Build up slowly i.e. walking instead of jogging or by using a workout based on your current level of fitness and designed to increase bone density.
