Yes, some people are more susceptible to fractures than others. This can be due to various factors, such as age, gender, genetics, lifestyle, and medical conditions.

Age is a major risk factor for fractures.

As people get older, their bones become weaker and more fragile, which increases the risk of fractures.

Genetics also play a role in bone health, with certain genetic factors increasing the risk of fractures.

In summary, some people are more susceptible to fractures than others due to a combination of age, gender, genetics, lifestyle, and medical conditions.
