Yesterday was World Osteoporosis Day, a reminder that bone health depends on more than calcium.

Polluted indoor air can weaken bones through inflammation and toxins.

Clean air may be one of the quiet protectors of strength as we age.

Bones Breathe Too: Why Indoor Air Quality Matters for Osteoporosis - AIR SUPPORT PROJECT
New research shows that indoor air pollution—from cooking, gas stoves, wildfire smoke, and even traffic exhaust that seeps indoors—can accelerate bone loss and worsen osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is often seen as a disease that primarily affects older women. But older men can have brittle bones too, and lack of awareness and testing for osteoporosis can result in painful and life-threatening bone fractures. bit.ly/3WPsorn
