Epidemiologi ( Osteoporosis )

Epidemiology

While an estimated 1 in 3 women and 1 in 12 men over age 50 suffer from osteoporosis worldwide. This adds to the incident millions of other fractures annually, mostly involving the lumbar vertebrae, pelvis and wrist (wrist). Fragility fractures of ribs are also common in men.


Pelvic fractures most often occur due to osteoporosis. In the U.S., more than 250,000 hip fractures annually are the result of osteoporosis. [3] It is estimated that a white woman aged 50 years and has a 17.5% lifetime risk of proximal femoral fracture. The incidence of hip fractures increases each decade from sequence to sequence to 9 6 to be good for women and men in all populations. The highest incidence was found in men and women aged 80 years and over.

Between 35-50% of all women aged above 50 years suffer at least one vertebral fracture. In the U.S., 700,000 vertebral fractures occur annually, but only about 1 / 3 are known. In the sequence of events 9704 women aged 68.8 years on the study for 15 years, found 324 women had suffered vertebral fractures when you start to enter into the research, 18.2% developed into a vertebral fracture, but the risk increased to 41.4% in women who previously occurred vertebral fractures.


In the U.S., 250,000 wrist fractures each year are the result of osteoporosis.  wrist fractures are the third most common type of fracture from osteoporosis. Life time risk of fracture sustained COLLES around 16% for white women. When a woman reaches the age of 70 years, approximately 20% of them contained at least one wrist fracture

Fragility fractures of the ribs generally occurs in men age 25 and over. The signs of osteoporosis in men is often overlooked because it is often physically active and suffered a fracture at the time of practice of physical activity. For example when falling while water skiing or jet skiing. However, rapid tests of individual testosterone levels following fracture diagnosis would seem easy if the individual the possibility of risk.
