With the weather warming up, there will be more opportunities to engage in outdoor physical activity. Did you know that exercise can have a positive impact on bone and joint health for older adults?
Exercise specifically helps older adults build and maintain healthy bones. While ages 20-30s are considered prime years to reach peak bone mass, it s never too late for people to start taking care of their orthopaedic health.
As a person ages, his or her bone density weakens, leading to decreased bone mass and potential health issues, such as osteoporosis, thyroid disorders or diabetes. Medical conditions that affect bone health when aging can lead to loss of balance, tripping or falling which can cause hip fractures, distal radius (wrist) fractures or other injuries.
