Unless sedentary habits change, this generation of children could end up with hip fractures in their 40s and 50s instead of their 70s. Falls in the 40-plus age group have increased 20% from the previous generation, so it seems likely this figure will only increase for the coming generation who’ve spent the majority of their childhood sedentary and with low bone density.
