Answer 2

Assuming proper diet, bearing load will strengthen bones. Considerable calcium may be lost from leg bones if a patient is bed ridden without exercise. Young workers in tunnel operations (sandhogs and caisson workers) who work under compressed air pressure (to keep the water out) are at special risk for bone necrosis. After a lengthy period of time working under pressure, all tissues become saturated with excess nitrogen (not a problem). However, if the worker is improperly decompressed the 'out gassing' of the nitrogen from dense poorly vasculated ends of large (leg) bones may prevent oxygen from entering the bone causing death of bone tissue and bone embrittlement. Older bones are more porous and better vasculated. Osteoporosis is an age-related condition that can weaken bones. Ironically some women who run change their body chemistry bringing on the condition. Others fail to add enough bone density in their youth and possibly due to genes are more prone to bone loss.

Answer 3

Calsium gives strength to bones. Strength starts to fade as you get older, it happens all when you stop growing and old age is visible.
