Why are asian women more prone in developing osteoporosis than afro-american women?
good question. i have heard that many asian people are lactose intolerant, so i am sure that has something to do with it.
The reason for this is because Asian women have smaller bones and there fore they are more likely to lose bone than Afro-American women who tend to have larger bones. The larger the bones the more dense the bones and therefore they are less likely to lose bone. This is the reason that more Caucasian women than Afro-American women get it also. If you are worried about it ask your doctor for a bone density test that will let you know if you're losing bone already and gives you a heads up about making sure that you're getting enough calcium.
Lactose intolerance is more common in Asia. Also, in my experience Asian women have faster metabolisms, which might contribute to it somehow.
perhaps da answer is in da food intake: diEt
mayB dey need more cheese
I think it's because many of them are lactose intolerant and so they don't get enough calcium. It's hard to get enough calcium in your diet when you don't eat dairy products.
Asian women tend to be smaller boned than African-American women or Caucasian women, for that matter. ALL small-boned women have a higher instance of osteoporosis; smoking also contributes to this problem.
