New Delhi, (PTI) Covid might have negatively impacted bone tissues of young patients, including both bone mineral density in the forearm and total bone mineral content, according to a new research.
Assessing people during the pandemic and before, researchers at Comenius University, Slovakia, found that the disease caused a significant bone mineral density decrease in young adults.
Lifestyle changes during the pandemic may have contributed to the lower bone mineral density and total bone mineral content, the researchers said in their study published in the American Journal of Human Biology.
