Osteoporosis in men

As a 68 year old male with osteoporosis, I was wondering best diagnostic work up and treatment.

Why don't children get sprained ankles?

Why don't children get sprains/pulls or just general ligament soft tissue type injuries? Is there something adults can take from this to reduce their propensity of getting injured?

DEXA FFMI / ALMI percentiles

Where can one find the nomogram(s) for age/sex? Recent podcast mentions, Peter's goal for patients to be north of 75th percentile. Where can one find this info (basic internet search doesn't seem particularly helpful and I'm guessing you may have these tables handy)?

DEXA nomograms

I loved your recent AMA on using DEXA scans to track body composition. Can you please post the nomograms that you use for ALMI, FFMI, VAT, and FMI for both men and women? I have my DEXA scan data, but it doesn't report percentiles, so I can't see where I fall relative to others of my age and gender. Thank you so much!

Given you no longer fast, yet promote it in Limitless With Chris Hemsworth, can you clarify your position on fasting regularly?

You mentioned in a recent AMA that you have no plans to do any further water fasting, but this feels at odds with what you discuss with Chris on Limitless. I realize the show was probably filmed 2-3 years ago, so I'd love to get a 2023 update on how you feel about the tradeoffs of water fasting regularly. Did rapamycin play a role in your decision to stop fasting?
