Adolescent physical activity can improve hip strength and reduce risk of osteoporosis
A new study examined how adolescent physical activity can impact hip strength and potentially reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life.
For the study—published in JAMA Network Open—researchers used a prospective birth cohort study that enrolled all pregnant women from 3 health authorities in Southwest England. A total of 15,454 women were enrolled and delivered 15,589 infants. Of those, 14,901 infants were alive at 1 year of age.
The researchers concluded that high-intensity physical activity could improve patients’ hip strength, which could prevent them from osteoporosis in their adult lives.
