Are women more affected by osteoporosis than men?
Answered By Editor
Yes. Studies have found that about 80% of
Americans who have osteoporosis are women.
This means there are approximately 8 million
women affected and only 2 million men. This
is because women suffer estrogen loss during
the menopausal stage which contributes to
osteoporosis. You also have to consider the
fact that osteoporosis can strike at any age.
