A new study from Nara Medical University in Japan reveals that skipping breakfast and eating dinner late may increase the risk of osteoporosis . Researchers analyzed data from 927,130 individuals from an insurance claims database, focusing on adults aged 20 and older. The study, published in the J ournal of the Endocrine Society , found that these eating habits are independently associated with a higher risk of osteoporotic fractures, particularly in the hip, spine, and humerus.

Participants, with a median age of 67, were observed over approximately 2.6 years. The study adjusted for conventional risk factors like age and body mass index (BMI) and found that skipping breakfast increased the adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) for fractures by 1.18 , while late dinners raised it by 1.08.
