Based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO), currently estimated there are 200 million people suffer a hip fracture due to osteoporosis in the world. In 2050, the case was predicted more than doubled in women and tripled in men.
Do not underestimate the alias osteoporosis bone loss. Therefore, the threat of the disease became apparent. One is because the bone mass density 6-8 percent lower than those in developed countries. His name is more brittle bones, yes, easily broken bones.
"The low bone density occurs due to several factors, including lack of calcium intake, physical activity, and exposure to sunlight,".
Bone density in men, occurs at the age of 20-29 years, whereas in women is slower, ie at the age of 30-39 years. Well, over time, a person's bone density will decrease. In men, the rate of decline is relatively gentle, which occurred at the age of 70 years. The situation is different in women. When experiencing menopause at the age of 40, bone density of women dropped dramatically.
when entering menopause, the female hormone estrogen decline and affect bone density. That's why more women are at risk of developing osteoporosis than men.
Although women are more susceptible to osteoporosis, men should not be complacent. Therefore, this disease can also attack them. "Comparison of the case between men and women is one in four,".
