The picture is similar in men, where each 0.144 g/cm2 (1 standard-deviation) was associated with 23% reduction in all-cause mortality in men 65-76 years of age over 5-8 years of follow-up.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

In men 65-76 of age, each 0.144 g/cm2 increase in BMD at the hip was associated with 24% lower risk of mortality due to heart disease.
A mixed-cohort study (850 men, 1074 women) also showed that a 1 standard-deviation decrease of BMD at the age of 70, 75, or 79 was associated with 39% increase in mortality risk within the next 7 years.
A study in women over 65 years showed that maintaining bone density correlated with a reduction in all cause mortality risk of 51% compared to having average (expected) age-related bone density loss, over 15 years of follow-up time.
