Osteoporosis in Men
Filed under: Osteoporosis
New research shows that men, especially those over 75, are at risk for osteoporosis. Declining levels of estrogen weakens bones and makes them prone to fractures. If you are a man over the age of 70 you might consider having a bone density test. The study also showed the rates of hip fracture greater for Hispanic men but the reasons for that are not known. The researchers studied 5,995 men.
