Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Smoking cigarettes is a risk factor for developing osteoporosis, as it can interfere with the body's ability to absorb calcium and other important nutrients needed for bone health. The other choices (consuming kale, spinach, and yogurt; exercising for 30 minutes each day; and having African-American ancestry) may have some potential benefits for bone health, but they are not specifically identified as risk factors for osteoporosis.
