Why are women a high-risk group for "three lows"?

Osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and sarcopenia are the "three lows" where women generally have a higher risk of developing them than men, due to factors closely related to physiological structure and hormonal changes.

I. Osteoporosis

• Post-menopause, the protective umbrella disappears, and bone loss accelerates.
• Lack of calcium and exercise further increases the risk.

II. Osteoarthritis

• Inherent differences in cartilage structure; women have thinner cartilage.
• Coupled with habits such as bearing weight, squatting, and wearing high heels, wear and tear accelerate.

III. Sarcopenia

• Insufficient muscle mass from birth.
• Decreased physical strength after aging, leading to a significantly increased risk of falls and fractures.
