bone strength
Fracture resistance level
Bone strength is how well bones resist breaking under stress.
It depends on both density (mineral content) and quality (the structural arrangement of bone tissue).
The term appears in medical contexts discussing osteoporosis and fracture risk: Her bone strength has declined significantly since menopause.
Exercise and calcium intake affect bone strength throughout life.
