Here’s how obesity is linked to osteoporosis.
High amounts of fat around the liver, muscle tissues and in the blood is more likely to cause osteoporosis because when internal organs are engulfed in fat there’s also fat inside the bone morrow.
This affects the marrow’s ability to produce osteoblasts — specialized cells that are in charge of bone formation.
In time, the obese person’s bones grow weaker, more likely to fracture when traumatized.
Bone marrow fat makes bones weak, and a spine filled with fat 👇 is not as strong as one without.
