Breakfast is said to be the most important meal of the day, and a new study says that's absolutely true as far as bone health is concerned.
Folks who skip breakfast have a greater risk of broken bones from osteoporosis, researchers reported Thursday in the Journal of the Endocrine Society.
"We found skipping breakfast and having late dinners was associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis," said lead researcher Dr. Hiroki Nakajima of Nara Medical University in Japan.
"Furthermore, these unhealthy eating habits were found to be linked with the accumulation of other lifestyle risk factors such as physical inactivity, smoking and insufficient sleep," Nakajima added in a news release.
