Abstract in brief

The study found no long-term negative effects of pregnancy or breastfeeding on the risk of fractures in postmenopausal women, with similar fracture rates between women who had children and those who did not.
Women who breastfed were associated with a significantly lower risk of hip and overall fragility fractures compared to those who didn't breastfeed, with longer breastfeeding duration further reducing this risk.
The findings suggest that pregnancy and breastfeeding do not harm bone health in the long run and that breastfeeding may actually help lower the risk of certain fractures later in life.]

@inesdealmeida90 Tenho de ver os perfis melhor, mas vi num post desse médico que ele partilhou o estudo de Oxford que diz que vegans têm 43% mais chances de ter uma "hip fracture". Esse estudo foi extremamente tendencioso como podes ver neste vídeo https://t.co/JiIMhXLi8p

@FuzzFace__ OMGS!!! Another myth!! Dairy & meat actually lead to MORE bone breakage (EXCEPT in the case of SKINNY plant based folks breaking bones because they don't have the extra padding!!) Sooo much confusion & https://t.co/QWXA86o0EI https://t.co/iCvvMywn30

A recent article published in the medical journal BMC Medicine claimed that vegans had a higher risk of breaking bones than meat-eaters. In this video, I take apart this study, showing how the authors' own data don't back their claim. https://t.co/go2AQVQqZO
