Ans:
A

Feedback:

African American race is not a risk factor for the development of osteoporosis, and African Americans tend to have higher bone density than Whites and Hispanics. Asbestos exposure is not a noted risk factor for osteoporosis, while alcohol use, diabetes, steroids, and estrogen deficiency are all risk factors.
