Osteoporosis is a bone-thinning disease that affects 50% of women and 20% of men over the age of 50 and increases their chances of experiencing painful, life-changing fractures particularly of the spine and hip. The high costs associated with osteoporosis are also expected to double in the next 50 years. Helping the population build stronger bones to help preserve bone health and prevent or delay the progression of osteoporosis will significantly help reduce the burden and cost of this disease on society. Helping people at a stage of life most at risk of osteoporosis preserve their bone strength, is key for helping individuals stay fracture-free for as long as possible. We have recently found that on average, accumulating 'Just A Minute' of moderate-impact activity per day is associated with better bone health in both young and mature (postmenopausal) women. Moderate-impact activity is more accessible to incorporate into activities of daily living compared to high-impact activities (e.g., high jumps). Our research is referenced in exercise guidance published by the Royal Osteoporosis Society which aims to help practitioners recommend bone-promoting activity to all including those living with osteoporosis. But rather than relying on guidelines to implement interventions to preserve bone strength in this at-risk population group, we want to work directly with mature adult user groups, the Royal Osteoporosis Society and relevant health industry partners to co-create accessible tools that can reach and deliver tailored bone-specific activity interventions inspired by 'Just A Minute' at scale.

骨质疏松症是一种骨质变薄的疾病，50岁以上的女性和男性中有50%和20%会受到影响，并增加他们经历痛苦的、改变生活的骨折的机会，特别是脊柱和髋部骨折。与骨质疏松症相关的高成本预计也将在未来50年翻一番。帮助人们建立更强壮的骨骼，以帮助保持骨骼健康，防止或延缓骨质疏松症的进展，将大大有助于减轻这种疾病给社会带来的负担和成本。帮助处于骨质疏松症风险最大的人保持骨骼强度，是帮助个人尽可能长时间保持无骨折的关键。我们最近发现，平均而言，在年轻和成熟(绝经后)的女性中，平均每天积累一分钟的中等冲击性活动与更好的骨骼健康有关。与高影响活动(如跳高)相比，中等影响活动更容易融入日常生活活动。我们的研究参考了皇家骨质疏松症协会出版的运动指南，该指南旨在帮助从业者向所有人推荐促进骨骼的活动，包括那些患有骨质疏松症的人。但我们不是依赖指南来实施干预措施，以保护这一高危人群的骨强度，我们希望直接与成熟的成人用户群体、皇家骨质疏松症协会和相关健康行业合作伙伴合作，共同开发可获得的工具，这些工具可以接触到并提供定制的骨骼特定活动干预措施，其灵感来自于规模化的“只需一分钟”。
