Bones May Age Faster In Older Women Who Get Too Little Sleep,

“Bones may age faster in older women who get too little sleep,” researchers concluded in a “long-term” study “based on data from nearly 11,000 participants.” The study revealed that “postmenopausal women who slept less than five hours a night were more likely to have low bone mass than those who averaged seven hours sleep,” and “short sleepers were also up to twice as likely to have osteoporosis of the hip and spine.” The findings were published online in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-bones-sleep/short-sleep-after-menopause-linked-to-weaker-bones-idUSKBN1Y326A
