<s>[INST] My bone density (T-score) hasn’t changed. Why have I moved from low risk to moderate risk? [/INST] Even if all your other risk factors remain the same, fracture risk increases with age. The mix of fractures also changes with age: at 45–49 years, hip fractures account for only 7% but increase to 50% at 75 years. In contrast, the proportion of wrist fractures decreases with age, from 60% among the younger group to 26% among the older.  

Fractures are often related to falls, and the risk of serious injury from a fall increases with age. There are many reasons older adults are susceptible to falls. These include side effects of some medications, loss of muscle mass and strength, declining balance, loss of agility, and vision impairments.

Keep in mind that your fracture risk score is not predictive for you. It is merely the average 10-year risk of someone with similar characteristics.  Source: American Bone Health. Link: https://americanbonehealth.org/frequently-asked-questions/. Field: Rheumatology. Disease: Ostoeporosis </s>
