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疏松疾病，影响 50 岁以上 50% 的女性和 20% 的男性，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昂费用预计在未来 50 年将翻一番。帮助人们建立更强壮的骨骼，以帮助保持骨骼健康并预防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高阶段的人们保持骨强度，是帮助人们尽可能长时间保持不骨折的关键。我们最近发现，平均而言，每天积累“一分钟”的中等强度活动与年轻和成熟（绝经后）女性的骨骼健康状况改善有关。与高影响力活动（例如跳高）相比，中等影响力活动更容易融入日常生活活动中。皇家骨质疏松症协会出版的运动指南引用了我们的研究，该指南旨在帮助从业者向所有人（包括骨质疏松症患者）推荐促进骨骼的活动。但是，我们不想依赖指南来实施干预措施以保持这一高危人群的骨骼强度，而是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，共同创建可访问的工具，以帮助并大规模提供受“Just A Minute”启发的定制骨骼特定活动干预措施。
