Question Women build bone until about age 35 and then begin to lose about 1percent of their bone mass annually. Men start losing bone mass approximately 10 to 20 years later. During the aging process, most skeletal system changes result from changes in connective tissue.

The cartilage becomes hard and brittle.  -Research Patient Education for Osteoporosis Prevention and describe how you would explain to a patient in their mid 30’s..    -What are some treatment options for Osteoporosis?  Health Science Science Nursing MEDICAL ASSISTING 120 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
