1. which of the following is a nonmodifiable risk factor for osteoporosis?

having a small, thin - boned body frame
being physically inactive

Explanation:

1. Osteoporosis - related fractures commonly occur in the hip, wrist, and spine (which can be related to shoulder - spine connection in some cases). The ankle is not a typical common site.
2. By around 30 years of age, healthy men and women reach peak bone mass. After this, bone mass gradually starts to decline.
3. A non - modifiable risk factor is something that cannot be changed. Having a small, thin - boned body frame is a non - modifiable characteristic. Using medications (can be adjusted), hormone levels (can be managed in some cases), and physical activity (can be increased) are modifiable.

Answer:

1. Ankle
2. 30
3. Having a small, thin - boned body frame
