“Bone Density & Wrinkles could predict womans bone break risk”.Having spent some time up in the Himalayas (Ladhak), I did note that the higher I went, and the drier the air, the more ‘wrinkled’ people’s skin was. (Whereas, down on the Plains, in humid areas, such ‘aging’/’wrinkling’ was barely apparent).It had never occurred to me that ‘wrinkles’ might be relevant/related to ‘bone density’. Should of course, have thought about ‘bone density’ at those 'heights', but it never occurred to me that the two factors might be connected until I read this article:

I looked further: “Investigation on bone mineral density in normal group in XiShuangBanNa,Tibet and Inner Mongolia”
