There are 206 to 213 bones in the human body. Their functions include the storage of minerals, locomotion, hematopoiesis and visceral organ protection. Many factors can influence the structural integrity of bones, namely aging, certain infections, dietary imbalances, disuse, environmental contamination, metabolic disorders, radiation, smoking and trauma.

The structural strength of bones decreases with age in both genders, but the change is more significant in females, especially after menopause. The strength of PharmaLegacy’s extensively validated bone loss and osteoporosis models will stand the test of time, however.
