A 10-year study of nearly 10,000 women aged 65 and older found that regular tea drinking was linked to slightly higher bone mineral density, a key marker of osteoporosis risk. Moderate coffee intake showed no overall harm, but consuming more than five cups a day was associated with lower bone density, particularly among women who reported higher lifetime alcohol use, according to researchers from Flinders University.
Scientists at the University of Hong Kong have uncovered a protein that acts as an exercise sensor in bones, explaining how movement prevents age-related bone loss. This discovery could lead to drugs mimicking exercise benefits for those unable to stay active. The findings highlight potential new treatments for osteoporosis affecting millions worldwide.

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University report that stem cells taken from body fat, formed into bone-leaning spheroids and paired with a common bone-reconstruction material, improved healing and strength in rat models of osteoporotic vertebral fractures. The preclinical findings, published in Bone & Joint Research, point to a potential future therapy if validated in humans.
