I agree 100%...
BUT, in Clock's case, the fact that a gentle fall like that resulted in vertebral fractures would be diagnostic of osteoporosis, I'm almost sure.
No doubt the enforced inactivity and steroids on account of the lung problems contributed greatly to that.
Plenty of sun, plenty of impact exercise, reducing dietary phosphorus and acid-forming foods, ensuring that protein intake doesn't greatly exceed the needs of the muscles, supplementing with magnesium and calcium to keep up with heavy sweating in hot weather. You betcha.
