Poor Diet
People who don't get enough calcium and Vtamin D in their diet will develop weaker bones. Consuming dairy products and eggs for breakfast can help get you the calcium and Vitamin D you need. Excessive alcohol use also increases your chances of breaking a bone.
Age
As people get older, their bones become weaker and thinner, which increases their chances of breaking a bone when they fall.
Sex
According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, one out of every two women compared to one in four men age 50 and older will have a bone fracture related to osteoporosis (low bone mass disease) some time in their life.
Genetics
Some people are simply more prone to having broken bones than others due to their genetics. If you have a family history of bone disease such as osteoporosis, you are more likely to get a broken bone.
Athletic Involvement
One of the most common ways that people break bones is by participating in sports. If you compete in a high intensity sport such as football, rugby or soccer, you are more likely to get a fractured bone while participating in the sport.
