Of those with no family history of cancer, I wonder what percentage smokes and/or drinks and/or does illegal drug.

A dear family friend died at age 50. Cancer. She smoked.

Both of my grandmothers smoked. One died in her late 70s from lung cancer. The other died in her late 70s because of complications caused by her smoking.

@fearfracture smoking does not cause breast cancer. The risk with HRT I believe, is breast cancer, and 75% of breast cancers are in people without family history.

I also want to emphasize that while falls may be the main cause of hip fractures, spinal fractures can happen, eventually, from sneezing, coughing, reaching, twisting- you get the picture. Even I have been told, from hugging. I just made one unwise movement and fractured three lumbar vertebrae. No impact from a fall, no dramatic moves.
