These studies explain why osteoporotic fractures are relatively rare in Asian countries like Japan, where people live as long or longer than Americans and consume almost no calcium-rich dairy products; and why, in Western countries that consume the most dairy foods, the rates of osteoporotic fractures are among the highest in the world.
