Answer 1

As you age, your hip bones primarily undergo **calcified remodeling**. This process involves the continual breakdown and rebuilding of bone tissue, allowing for the adaptation of bones to changes in load and support. While both intramembranous and endochondral ossification occur during growth and development, remodeling is what happens throughout life, particularly as the body ages.
