New Data on Osteoporosis Risk in Older Men
Filed under: Osteoporosis
Older men who have had one fracture have a much higher risk of a second fracture, putting their fracture risk on par with the risk older women face, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"We found the protective effects of being a man disappeared altogether after the first fracture, putting them right up there with women who have also had a break. This goes to show the perception out there is really quite wrong."
