Our pursuit of "fair skin" and "slim figures" might be harming our bones! A recent survey by China Youth Daily shows 44.8% of young people are concerned about osteoporosis.

Top causes identified by youth:

Lack of exercise/sedentary lifestyle (64.6%)

High caffeine/soda intake (62.5%)

Dieting & nutritional imbalance (52.1%)

Interestingly, 66.5% believe excessive sun protection for fairer skin contributes to bone issues, and 72.4% advocate for "natural beauty" over "pale, slim, and young" aesthetics. Time to prioritize health over trends! #BoneHealth #YouthSurvey #NaturalBeauty #Osteoporosis
