Osteoporosis Facts:
Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become weak and can break from a minor fall or, in serious cases, from a simple action such as a sneeze. Fractures are more frequent in the hip, spine and wrist, although any bone can be affected.
Prevention of Osteoporosis
About 85-90% of adult bone mass is acquired by age 18 in girls and 20 in boys. Building strong bones during childhood and adolescence, by eating foods high in Calcium, Magnesium, and Vitamin D can help to prevent osteoporosis later in life.
Prevalence of Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a major public health threat for an estimated 44 million Americans, or 55 percent of the people 50 years of age and older.
In the U.S. today, 10 million individuals are estimated to already have the disease and almost 34 million more are estimated to have low bone mass, placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis.
While osteoporosis is often thought of as an older person's disease, it can strike at any age.
Osteoporosis Prevalence: Gender
Of the 10 million Americans estimated to have osteoporosis, eight million are women and two million are men.
Eighty percent of those affected by osteoporosis are women.
Twenty percent of those affected by osteoporosis are men.
Cost of Osteoporosis
In 2005, osteoporosis-related fractures were responsible for an estimated $19 billion in costs.
By 2025, experts predict that these costs will rise to approximately $25.3 billion.
