Sleeping Less Than 6 Hours Leads To Degeneration of Bone Health in Older Women

Bone is a living tissue that undergoes continuous formation and its absorption in the circulatory system.

They said taking too little sleep is linked with a higher risk of having a low bone mineral density (BMD) and developing osteoporosis.

Researchers said that sleep may negatively impact bone health, adding to the list of the negative health impacts of poor sleep,” study author Heather M. Ochs-Balcom, Ph.D., an associate professor of epidemiology and environmental health at the University at Buffalo School of Public Health and Health Professions said in a conference.

❍ Less Sleep Leads to Bone Remodeling and Osteoporosis

If one is sleeping less, then the bone remodeling isn’t happening properly said Ochs-Balcom.

The term osteoporosis stands for porous bone and refers to a condition that develops when the quality and density of bone are greatly reduced.
