Tag: Hunchback

Over 54 million Americans are at high risk or have osteoporosis. Weakened bones are a primary indirect cause of hunchback. This spinal deformity, known as kyphosis, is often linked to a lack of calcium and other essential nutrients over time.

While a direct causal link is rare, studies show that millions of older adults, particularly women, develop a form of kyphosis (commonly called a hunchback) due to osteoporosis, a condition often exacerbated by a prolonged **calcium deficiency**. This nutritional diet article examines the intricate relationship between inadequate calcium intake, progressive bone density loss, and the resulting spinal curvature.
