Additional risk for women
Bone loss.
As my mother discovered in her 50's when she managed to snap both wrists at once. (She was chasing a ball, tripped, grabbed a door...shouldn't have hurt either wrist under normal conditions.)
It is a risk for men as well, but men start of with bigger bones so it isn't as worrisome for us.
Cheers,
Ben
