A Japanese study involving over 900,000 adults revealed that both skipping breakfast and having dinner close to bedtime significantly raise the risk of osteoporotic fractures, with the combination of these behaviors leading to a 23% increase in risk. Researchers utilized health data from the DeSC database, assessing adults aged 20 and older from 2014 to 2022 while excluding those with a history of osteoporosis or recent fractures. Key findings included links between these eating habits and various fracture types, particularly in women and older individuals. The study emphasizes lifestyle's impact on bone health, suggesting that late meals may disrupt metabolic processes critical for maintaining bone strength.
