Bone fragility is a major public health concern. It is characterized in particular by a reduction in bone mineral density (BMD), a key factor in the occurrence of fractures—especially hip fractures, which are associated with significant morbidity and mortality in adults. Osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures result from an imbalance between bone formation and resorption, influenced by age, physical activity, genetics, and diet.
