Can a vibrating belt fend off bone density loss?

Article excerpt

More than 40 million Americans over 50 have osteopenia, weakened bones that increase fracture risk. An FDA-approved vibrating belt offers a potential new treatment, providing women with a wearable tool that could slow bone density loss without medication. The device uses targeted vibrations to stimulate bone-building cells, representing a shift toward preventive wearables for age-related health concerns. While promising early results have drawn interest from patients and researchers, questions remain about long-term effectiveness and who benefits most from the technology.
