Abstract

It was well known that the roles of bone in body are both guard of the fragile organs and support of the physical structures. But the more important role of the bone compared with guard and support becomes obvious recently to hold calcium, whose concentration in body fluid is always constant. As the all cells composed of body are initiated to work by infusion of soluble calcium into individual cell from the body fluid, so the calcium is called to be a flame to burn the life. With advancement of aging, storage of bony calcium shows a tendency to decrease, reducing the bony strength. The state easily to break bone is osteoporosis. In a sence of health of the bone, as well as to increase the bone mineral density, protection of fall and absorption of traumatic force to bone are important to avoid the various fractures in the elderly.
