Management of male osteoporosis: report of the UK Consensus Group

Abstract: Although osteoporosis is generally regarded as a disease of women, up to 30% of hip fractures and 20% of vertebral fractures occur in men. Risk factors for osteoporotic fractures in men include low body mass index, smoking, high alcohol consumption, corticosteroid therapy, physical inactivity, diseases that predispose to low bone mass, and conditions increasing the risk of falls. The key drugs and diseases that definitely produce a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) and/or an increase in fracture rate in m… Show more

“…Furthermore, as is the case in women, osteoporotic fracture incidence rises exponentially in men with advancing age (though the rapid increase in fracture risk begins later, at approximately age 70, in men) (7). As such, males account for approximately 30% of hip and 20% of symptomatic vertebral fractures (8). Consistent with a major fracture burden among men, it is estimated that a 50-year-old male has a 17% chance of sustaining a hip fracture in his remaining lifetime (9).…”

“…In 1994, the World Health Organization (WHO) classification system was published allowing osteoporosis to be defined as a bone mineral density that is 2.5 or more standard deviations below that of a young normal adult i.e., a T-score of -2.5 or below (45). However, this classification system applied only to postmenopausal women and, until recently, no consensus densitometric definition of osteoporosis in men existed (8). Given the high prevalence of osteoporotic fracture and projected increase in men, the ability to identify men at risk prior to their fracture is required.…”

“…Каждый 4-й муж-чина старше 60 лет подвержен развитию переломов [32], 16% мужчин старше 50 лет и 35% старше 85 лет падают каждый год [33]. 30% переломов бедра и 20% переломов позвонков проис-ходит у мужчин [34]. Частота переломов бедра в 2-3 раза боль-ше у женщин, но летальность в течение 1 года после этих пе-реломов приблизительно в 2 раза выше у мужчин [35].…”
