Answer − C − The factor that is associated with a reduced risk of osteoporotic fractures is body mass index of greater than 23. The use of tobacco, a family history of mother or maternal grandmother with hip fractures, postmenopausal state without estrogen replacement, vision problems, and a body mass index of less than 23 are all increased risks for fractures. A body mass index of greater than 23 does not represent an increased risk for fracture.
