However, age-related osteoporosis and fragility fractures are also a major problem in men. Recent studies suggest that diagnosing men as osteoporotic when they fall more than 2.5 standard deviations below the mean for young men identifies a group at risk for fracture. Data suggest that many men ...
Men suffer osteoporotic fractures about 10 years later in life than women, but life expectancy is increasing faster in men than women. Thus, men are living long enough to fracture, and when they do the consequences are greater than in women, with men having about twice the 1-year fatality ...
In general, peak bone mass is 8-10% higher in men compared to women, which can also justify a decreased prevalence of osteoporosis in men.[1] Elderly men have a progressive and slow decrease in sex hormones as opposed to the sudden decrease observed in women after menopause. Aging is acco...
Osteoporosis in men is a heterogeneous clinical entity: whereas most men experience bone loss with aging, some men develop osteoporosis at a relatively young age, often for unexplained reasons (idiopathic osteoporosis). Declining sex steroid levels and other hormonal changes likely contribute to age-...
However, the diagnostic guidelines of osteoporosis in children and young adults are different (Table1). The International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) recommends the use of BMD Z-scores in these populations (compared with age-matched norms) [23,24]. In premenopausal women and men aged...
INFERTILITY, OBESITY, AND HYPOGONADISM ARE SIGNIFICANT FACTORS FOR OSTEOPOROSIS IN YOUNG MEN 来自 学术范 喜欢 0 阅读量: 25 作者:E Gimenez,A Bolyakov,M Herman,J Kiper,DA Paduch 摘要: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between ED and depression. The survey was conducted...
In addition to older males with low testosterone levels, osteoporosis has been observed in young men with normal testosterone levels, which is categorized as idiopathic osteoporosis.10 Idiopathic osteoporosis is a heterogeneous disorder in young adults with decreased osteoblast function and impaired bone ...
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 ...
Generally, osteoporosis is not diagnosed until weakened bones cause painful fractures, usually in the back or hips. Once an osteoporosis fracture occurs, there is a much higher risk of additional bone fractures. Up to 80% of osteoporosis sufferers are women. The disease can also affect men, ...
in elderly females might develop due to osteoporosis. As far as we know, no tuber calcanei avulsion fracture developing on the basis of osteoporosis without presence of a trauma has been reported in young males in the literature. In the current case report, a 41-year-old male patient who ...
