Question 10 • Biology - SC3209 IC

What is the most important genetic factor influencing whether someone will develop osteoporosis?

Answer
A
age
B
exercise
C
gender
D
diet

Explanation

Gender is the most important genetic factor because inherited sex-related differences affect bone density and bone loss. Women, especially after menopause when estrogen levels decline, are at greater risk of osteoporosis. Age, exercise, and diet also affect risk, but they are not genetic factors in the way gender is.
