At age 45, some bone loss can be considered normal, particularly for women approaching menopause due to hormonal changes. On average, individuals may lose about 0.5% to 1% of bone mass per year after age 40. However, lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity, and genetics can significantly influence the rate of bone loss. Regular exercise, a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol can help mitigate bone loss.
AGE.
Peak bone mass occurs at ~30 years of age. Afterwards, bone loss starts to outpace bone deposition.
Osteopenia is the universal loss of bone mass that begins around age 40. It is a milder form of bone loss than osteoporosis and can increase the risk of fractures. To help prevent or slow down osteopenia, it is important to maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and ensure an adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D.
Women may benefit from iron supplements during childbearing years to help with the loss of iron from blood during normal monthly menses. Calcium is also an important supplement for women past the age of menopause to offset bone calcium loss.
Calcium and vitamin D in the diet are important in the prevention of osteoporosis. Exercise is also important. As bone loss begins around age 30, there are things people in this age group can do to prevent bone loss. Exercises such as bouncing on a trampoline, jogging, aerobics, fast-wlking or hiking, stair climbing and tennis all help the bone regrow. If a person is already prone to bone breakage due to bone loss, exercises that are safe are especially important. A great safe workout for all ages is water aerobics. Swimming of any kind is also beneficial and safe.

no, it's much larger than normal for that age
Bone density typically starts to decline around the age of 30, as peak bone mass is usually reached in the late 20s. After this peak, bone resorption begins to outpace bone formation, leading to gradual bone loss. Factors such as hormonal changes, especially during menopause in women, diet, physical activity, and lifestyle choices can further influence the rate of bone density decline. Regular exercise and a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D can help mitigate this loss.
The clavicle (collar bone), is the last bone to complete growth, at about age 25.
A condition characterized by height below the 3rd third percentile for age, normal annual growth rate, normal bone age, family history of short stature, expected adult height below the 3rd third percentile, normal onset of puberty, and normal result to findings on physical examination.
A healthy bone mass percentage is typically around 3-5% higher than the average for someone of the same age and gender. This can vary based on factors such as age, gender, and body composition. Maintaining a healthy bone mass percentage is important for overall bone strength and reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
Yes, it is normal for newborns to experience hair loss in the early months of life. This is known as newborn hair loss or telogen effluvium, and it typically occurs around 3-4 months of age. The hair loss is temporary and new hair will grow back in its place.
