Heredity does play a role in osteoporosis as does having a small frame; ethnicity, etc. As to the female Cadets taking oral contraceptives...I think the reason may be the Cadets would be physically fit (ie., athletic). The rigors of sports training can cause menstrual disruption or cessation...so the Pill would be prescribed to regulate their cycles.

It is a health care shame that osteoporosis is only thought of post-menopause (I can't stand the touchy, feely, lady with the cartoons around her or Sally Field telling us she one life and one body...duh...but I digress). Woman should be alerted early on (but not currently marketed to) that a cheap calcium suppliment could do much to prevent future damage. Only TUMS mentions it...and then barely. I guess there is much more $$$ to be made with Boniva...
