Osteoporotic fractures pose serious harm to men, too: study
Fox News
Osteoporosis, a bone disease raising the risk for fractures and breaks, poses serious harm to men too, says the National Osteoporosis Foundation following findings of over 90,000 disease-related deaths in a given year.
"This study verifies that it’s not just women who are at risk of osteoporotic fractures," Claire Gill, CEO of the National Osteoporosis Foundation, which commissioned the study, said in a statement posted Monday. "We want greater awareness among men and their health care professionals about the steps that they can take to improve bone health." Gill called for a national education and action campaign to encourage screenings and treatment to lessen the health burden driven by osteoporosis. Additional study findings cited a total 1.3 million Americans on Medicare who suffered fractures, including the 381,000 men and 912,000 women. When taking Medicare Advantage into account, the number of osteoporotic fractures among 1.8 million beneficiaries swelled to about 2.1 million in 2016, according to the foundation.
