The reason is women to be expected to have smaller and thinner bones than men. Estrogen, a hormone in women which t guards bones, decreases abruptly when women reach their menopause stage that can root bone loss. This is why the chance of developing osteoporosis rises as women reach their menopause stage which is between 45 to 55 age limit.
