Overview
Osteoporosis affects 60% over the age of 50. The majority of these people are women, but men are at risk too. Most often osteoporosis (the disease of porous bones) affects women with a drop in estrogen production, possibly due to menopause or an oophorectomy (surgical removal of the ovaries), and men with a reduced testosterone production.
Women are affected earlier because their hormone changes are much more abrupt than that of men. This disease leads to crippling pain and life-threatening fractures. Modern science has found a way of detecting and controlling Osteoporosis. This includes a specific diet, exercise, treatments with calcium and vitamin D, and regular screenings with Dexa scans.
