What helps depedepends greatly on who you are -

1. Avoid the trauma. Every break is associated with something, avoiding the situation in the first place helps a lot.

2. Healthy bones: Bones need a few things to form in the first place, and stay healthy. Vitamin D (sunlight) and calcium (commonly, milk), make sure you get a bit of both. Also, as you get older, other things become important (for example, a woman who goes through menopause will have low oestrogen, which effects your calcium and therefore your bones, making it more brittle, so supplementing this can be helpful)

3. Strengthen the muscles - they support your bones

4. In the elderly, and others, it is very important to start to think about things like hand rails, not having rugs you can slip on, anti-slip matts and the like. At this age, prevention is about the last thing you can do
