- Higher outdoor light exposure (TOL) is linked to increased bone mineral density (eBMD) and lower osteoporosis (OP) risk.
- Spending more than 3 hours/day in outdoor light during summer reduces OP risk and delays onset by 0.36 years.
- Limited TOL combined with high genetic risk increases susceptibility to OP.
- Prolonged outdoor light exposure may mitigate OP risk, even in genetically predisposed individuals.
