Bones After 50 is written and edited by a small group of health content editors working on one subject: bone density, fracture risk, and what adults past 50 can reasonably do about them. None of us holds a clinical qualification. This page sets out who does what, and what that means for what you read here.
How we work
Articles here carry a team byline instead of a personal one, because more than one person handles each piece. A typical article starts with an editor pulling the source material together, goes to a second person for the draft, and to a third who checks each claim against the citation it rests on before it publishes. We come back to every article about once a year to see whether the guidance has moved, and the person doing that update is usually not the person who wrote the original.
That said, here is the breakdown of who does what.
The team
Editorial leadership
The Bones After 50 Editorial Team decides what gets covered and in what order, briefs the writers, and reads every piece before it goes live. That list comes from the questions readers send to our inbox and from the gaps we hit when we go looking for an answer ourselves. Whether a product in this field happens to pay a commission plays no part in it; our Editorial Policy sets out how that separation is kept.
Subject-matter contributors
The people who draft our articles are writers and editors who spend their working time inside this material: DEXA reporting conventions, dietary reference intakes for calcium and vitamin D, exercise guidance for readers who already have a vertebral fracture. None of them is a clinician, and we say so on the pages where it matters. Individual articles are not credited by name because two or three people shape each one, and the byline you see (“By the Bones After 50 Editorial Team”) describes that accurately.
Where medical review fits in
An article carries a “Reviewed by” line beneath the headline only when a named healthcare professional has actually read that article, and the line gives their name and their credential. An article without that line has been checked against the sources cited in it and nothing further. We keep the distinction visible on the page so you can weigh the two differently.
