Abstract

Reducing the risk of fracture and osteoporosis is particularly important as they have been a worldwide health challenge, resulting in increased mortality and economic loss. According to relevant data, there are about 23,700,000 people getting disease because of fracture and osteoporosis, which proves the harmlessness of it (Al Anouti, F.et al, 2019). Bone delicacy is closely related with the chance of break and osteoporosis, bone delicacy or bone quality is influenced by a assortment of variables, including bone density, vitamin D, external forces and bone aging (Fonseca, et al, 2014). This paper addresses the factors that influence bone fragility from a biomechanical perspective and suggests appropriate solutions to reduce the risk of fracture and osteoporosis due to bone fragility. It was concluded that the natural aging of bones is the main factor among many others, while the lack of vitamin D and external forces affect bone density to accelerate this process.The risk of fracture and osteoporosis is reduced by appropriate exercise and moderate intake of vitamin D.
