The study claims the level of proteins in the skin and bones are linked meaning if a woman’s face and neck are severely wrinkled she faces a higher risk of bone breakage due to bone density loss.
The worse the wrinkles the lesser the bone density and this relationship was independent of age or of factors known to influence bone mass.
One in two women and one in three men over the age of 70 years will have a bone fracture related to osteoporosis.
