Women's health declines after the age of 40. This has come to light in a joint study of the Gynecology and Obstetrics departments at GSVM Medical College, Kanpur. The study revealed that every third woman has weak bones.
300 women aged between 40 to 60 years were included in the study. Of these, 214 women were confirmed to have osteoporosis. Of these, 90% of women had severe and moderate grades. According to the study, there are many reasons for osteoporosis in women, which include aging, menopause, poor diet, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Based on the findings of the study, it can be said that women should be conscious of their health and should get their bones checked regularly after the age of 40.

as the bones become weak, they start opening. The density also reduces. Bones also become weak. The possibility of fracture increases significantly.
