UAE is one of the sunniest regions of the world. With the discovery of oil, the life style of Emiratis has changed. Recent studies shows that 90% of the women in UAE suffer from weak bones. ➢ What do you attribute to this problem?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Recent studies show that 90% of the women in the UAE suffer from weak bones. I attribute to this problem the fact that Muslim women in the United Arab Emirates do not receive enough sunlight that is an important source of natural Vitamin D, so necessary to build strong bones.

Despite the UAE is one of the sunniest regions of the world, Muslim women cover all their body, including the head, which impedes the rays of the sun to get to their skin. That is why more medical centers are receiving women with osteoporosis.
