Osteoporosis is a growing concern in men, with significant fracture risks and higher mortality. Early diagnosis and intervention, including lifestyle changes and supplements, are crucial for prevention and management.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Geriatrics
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Osteoporosis diagnosis criteria are well-established for women but debated for men.
  • Men over 50 experience significant rates of spinal and hip fractures.
  • Pathogenesis, comorbidities, and post-fracture outcomes differ between sexes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the pathogenesis of osteoporosis in men.
  • To outline diagnostic approaches for male osteoporosis.
  • To discuss prevention strategies for osteoporosis in men.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on male osteoporosis.
  • Analysis of epidemiological data on fracture incidence.
  • Synthesis of current guidelines and research findings.

Main Results:

  • Osteoporotic fractures are increasingly recognized in men, affecting 30% of men over 60 in Australia.
  • Secondary causes contribute to bone loss in 30-60% of men with spinal fractures.
  • Male osteoporosis is associated with increased morbidity and mortality compared to women.

Conclusions:

  • Osteoporosis in men requires specific diagnostic and management strategies.
  • Lifestyle modifications, calcium, and vitamin D3 supplementation are recommended.
  • Further research is needed to refine diagnosis and treatment protocols for male osteoporosis.
