According to Dr. P. Peris of the University of Barcelona, "Osteoporosis in men has received much less attention; however, it is increasingly recognized as a problem in clinical medicine." In a 1995 study published in the British Journal of Rheumatology, Peris pointed out that 30 percent of all hip fractures occur in men and that vertebral fractures are much more common in men than previously thought. The female-to-male ratio is only 2-to-1. According to Dr. Allan Gold, an endocrinologist and senior physician at the Montreal General Hospital, a recent Canadian survey found that 20 percent of men have serious bone loss in their vertebrae, and by age 70 the figure is as high as 30 percent. Gold said that "men in their 80s have a fracture rate that is equal to women's."

There has been much recognition of osteoporosis as a women's health problem, but five million American men are also affected. Even teenagers are not immune, particularly girls. Osteoporosis causes the bones to weaken and fracture under the slightest stress. If detected early, it can be prevented and treated before significant bone loss occurs. Bone tissue can be affected by age, heredity, unhealthy habits, diet, sex hormones, physical inactivity and certain medications. Osteoporosis can be a complication of any chronic disease involving the lungs, liver, kidneys, GI tract, hormones, and rheumatoid arthritis. Bone loss can occur as a result of long term use of steroids, thyroid hormone, some anti-convulsant drugs and chemo-therapies. Low levels of sex hormones are the major cause of osteoporosis. Men with low testosterone levels can be treated with replacement therapy. Detecting Osteoporosis with Bone Mineral Density Testing Women who complete menopause or suffer loss of menstrual periods should investigate the possibility of bone loss with a BMD test. The BMD test is quick, painless, similar to x-ray, and can predict fracture risk.
