Our gut microbiome may have a role to play in our bone health and ward off the risk of osteoporosis and fractures, suggests a study. The findings, published in Frontiers in Endocrinology, could one day provide the opportunity to alter gut microbiomes to achieve better bone health, as scientists learn more about "osteomicrobiology" -- a new term recently used to characterise this relationship.
A team from Hebrew SeniorLife and Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research in the US conducted a study of older men to determine whether they could find a potentially modifiable factor contributing to skeletal health. They used high-resolution imaging of the arm and leg.
