Facts about Osteoperosis

According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation – osteoperosis or porous bone is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue -- leading to bone fragility and an increased susceptibility to fractures -- especially of the hip, spine and wrist, although any bone may be affected.

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 United States, 10 million people are estimated to already have osteoperosis and almost 34 million more are estimated to have low bone density, placing them at an increased risk for osteoperosis.

Of the 10 million Americans estimated to have osteoperosis, 8 million are women and 2 million are men; 34 million Americans have low bone mass density, which puts them at increased risk of developing osteoperosis and related fractures.

While osteoperosis is often thought of as an older person's disease, it can strike at any age.
