Getting too little sleep is linked with a higher risk of having low bone mineral density (BMD) and developing osteoporosis, researchers have warned. Osteoporosis is a disease in which bone
weakening increases the risk of a broken bone. In the study of 11,084 postmenopausal women, those who reported sleeping five hours or less per night had lower BMD at all four sites assessed
— whole body, total hip, neck, and spine — compared with women who reported sleeping seven hours per night. After adjustments, women reporting five hours or less per night had 22 percent
and 63 percent higher risks of experiencing low bone mass and osteoporosis of the hip, respectively. Similar results were seen with the spine. The study was published in the Journal of Bone
and Mineral Research. _(This story was auto-published from a syndicated feed. No part of the story has been edited by __FIT__.)_ _(Delhi is in a public health emergency. The air outside is
