Media: a Chinese citizen broke his femur while coughing
A Chinese citizen managed to break his femur, the strongest bone in the skeleton, while coughing. This is stated in an article by Odditycentral.
The 35-year-old man reportedly suffered a coughing fit and then began to feel pain in his thigh bone. At first it seemed to him that the cause was a cramp, but later doctors diagnosed a fracture.
It turned out that the condition of the Chinese man’s bones was unusually poor — at the age of 35, his bones were like those of an 80-year-old.
It turned out that the patient almost completely switched from water to soda, which interfered with the absorption of calcium in the body. The result was a decrease in bone density and increased fragility.
