Unhealthy lifestyles are associated with the increased risk of low-energy fracture in Chinese men ≥ 50 years, a population-based survey

Accordingly, individuals should be encouraged to reduce alcohol consumption, immediately quit smoking, and get sufficient sleep, especially in those with a history of past fracture. In addition, primary preventives especially home prevention should be emphasized.
