and this abstract shows some good data...
as a risk factor for fractures in women in asia, low calcium intake was a risk factor of 2, use of sedatives was a risk factor of 2.5, high alcohol 2.9, low excercise in youth 7.2, and thyroid drugs 7.1
'Risk factors for hip fracture in Asian men and women: the Asian osteoporosis study.'there may be confounding factors between different societies but medication, alcohol and low excercise appear to be large risk factors.
