Abstract in brief

The study examined whether eating onions regularly is linked to better bone health in women over 50 who are perimenopausal or postmenopausal, finding that more frequent onion consumption correlates with higher bone density.
Women who ate onions daily or almost daily had about 5% higher bone density compared to those who ate onions less than once a month, even after accounting for other factors like age, BMI, and calcium intake.
The results suggest that regularly consuming onions could potentially reduce the risk of hip fractures in older women by over 20%, indicating a possible protective effect on bone health.]
