      Scientists have conducted scientific experiments and proved that regular aerobic exercise can indeed prevent osteoporosis:

      The researchers divided the volunteers into two groups. The women in the first group performed aerobic exercise 1 to 3 times a week, while the women in the second group lived as usual. It was found that over a year, the bone density of the women in the first group increased by 1%, while the bone density of the women in the second group decreased by 0.4%.

      Researchers believe that adults begin to gradually lose bone mass after the age of 35. middle aged female After estrogen levels drop, osteoporosis is more likely to follow, and if you are not careful, it will cause fractures. Therefore, it is very important for middle-aged and elderly women to prevent or delay the occurrence of osteoporosis. According to statistics, the number of osteoporosis patients in Finland has now reached 400,000 among a population of 5.2 million.

      Professor Timo Jemsee, the leader of this research team, emphasized that in preventing osteoporosis, it is the form and quality of exercise, not the amount of exercise, that play a decisive role. Aerobic exercise is most effective at strengthening bones, while walking and jogging are not as effective at preventing osteoporosis.
