While fracture risk consistently increases after age 65 in men (with up to 50% of cases due to secondary etiologies), osteoporosis and fractures may also occur in young or middle aged males in the absence of an identifiable etiology. For this category (so called idiopathic osteoporosis), there...
We examined osteoporosis diagnosis/treatment in 2,187 community dwelling men age 50+. After five years in the study, 90% of men with fragility fractures remained undiagnosed and untreated for osteoporosis. The need to treat fragility fractures is well established in guidelines, and these numbers ...
Association between repeat length of exon 1 CAG microsatellite in the androgen receptor and bone density in men is modulated by sex hormone levels In this study we examined whether the androgen receptor (AR) gene CAG repeat polymorphism and serum androgen levels are associated with bone mineral ...
The mortality rate following osteoporotic fractures is greater in men than in women. As reported by a nine-year cohort study of individuals over the age of 60 with osteoporotic hip fractures, women have a predominance of fractures (64.68%), whereas men suffer higher mortality rates (20.42%; 95...

Age-related osteoporosis in men is typically seen in those over 70 years of age. Male osteoporosis remains underdiagnosed and undertreated15. However, about 25% of men over 50 years of age will develop at least one osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime. Compared to women, men have ...

To examine the diagnosis of osteoporosis and osteopenia in men based on bone density measurements at single or multiple sites using central and peripheral measurements, we studied 206 ambulatory, community-dwelling men over age 50. Bone mineral density of the hip, PA spine, forearm, and finger we...
Separate models were used to determine the relationship between tea consumption and OP stratified by sex and age. There was a significant interaction between sex, age, and type of tea consumed. In men aged ≥ 60 years, the risk of developing OP decreased by 79% for those who drank ...
