Menopausal women and aging men suffer the most. Women are four times more likely to develop Osteoporosis then men.
Among men, it is estimated that one in every eight men over 50, will have an Osteoporosis-related fracture.
The problem may be precipitated by the low intake of calcium in the diet, poor nutrition, hormonal imbalance, or poor reproductive health. The bones become fragile and week to the extent that a minor movement can result in a fracture.
