Broken bones are particularly disastrous for older adults, for whom fractures can mean long-term recovery, disability or even premature death. 



While age, gender and genetics play significant roles in bone health, there are diet and lifestyle choices that can slow bone loss.

In particular, experts point to a set of nutrients — such as calcium and vitamin D — that can keep the skeleton strong as the years go by.
