Osteoporosis risk ‘smaller among people living in leafy neighbourhoods’

People who live in “leafy” areas may be less likely to develop a condition which causes bones to become weak and more prone to breaks, according to a new study.

Osteoporosis weakens bones, which makes them fragile and more likely to fracture.

Now a new study has found that living in greener areas is associated with higher bone density and a decreased risk of developing osteoporosis.
