Why do old people get bone fractures easily as compared to young ? |
| Answer» Bones have about 70% inorganic matter and 30% organic matter in the matrix. With age, the inorganic matter increases and the organic matter decreases. With the result, the bones are flexible in the young and get brittle in the old. Hence, old persons get bone fractures easily. | |
