Bone strength

Physical Traits

Bone strength here refers to research on inherited differences in fracture susceptibility, including stress fractures from repeated load.

GWAS work has identified variants linked to bone density, bone geometry, and collagen biology that affect fracture risk.

This result reflects research-level variation in bone biology and is not a clinical fracture-risk assessment.

Training load, calcium and vitamin D, hormones, body weight, footwear, surface, and recovery also strongly influence actual stress-fracture risk.
