Bone health depends on more than calcium intake alone. Bones are living tissue that go through a continuous process of breakdown and renewal. Hormones help regulate this process and may affect bone strength over time. Hormonal changes are especially relevant in mid-life and later adulthood, when changes in oestrogen, testosterone, thyroid hormones, parathyroid hormone, or cortisol may influence bone density and fracture risk.

Bone density refers to the amount of mineral content in bone. It helps indicate how strong or fragile bones may be and is one factor used to assess fracture risk. Bones can feel normal even when bone density has decreased. This is why bone density testing may be considered when there are risk factors for bone loss, fractures, or hormone-related conditions that may affect bone health.
