Skipping breakfast raises the risk of broken bones from osteoporosis by 18%, a new study found. Researchers analyzed data from over 927,000 Japanese adults, linking unhealthy habits like late dinners, physical inactivity, smoking, and poor sleep to increased fracture risk. Those who both skipped breakfast and ate late dinners had a 23% higher risk. Lead researcher Dr. Hiroki Nakajima said the findings "suggest that preventing osteoporosis and fractures requires not only healthy eating habits but also a broader effort to improve overall lifestyle behaviors." Nutritional deficiencies from skipping breakfast may contribute to bone weakness. (UPI)
