anchor muscles, and store calcium. Adequate calcium consumption and
weight-bearing physical activity build strong bones, optimizes bone mass,

From this study, it appears that people with osteoporosis are at higher
risk of developing problems with physical frailty and difficulties with
activities of daily living, and may be at risk for reduced quality of life

osteoporosis by helping them to keep as physically functional as possible.
