Does exercise prevent fractures?

Yes. Exercise can increase muscle mass, strength, and balance, thereby decreasing the risk for falling and suffering an osteoporotic fracture. Muscle strengthening and balance exercises (eg, Chi Gong, Tai Chi) have been shown to decrease risk for fall and fall-related injuries by 75% among women aged seventy-five years and older.
