what r the risk conditions does man get osteoporosis?

Answer 1

Your first answerer is incorrect. Men DO get osteoporosis, just not as often as women do. My uncle had it. There are lots of possible risk factors. Some are genetic -- not too much you can do about those except be aware of them and be extra careful to avoid other risk factors as much as you can. Some are nutritional -- too little calcium and too much meat in your diet. Meat contains a lot of phosphorous, which interferes with the absorption of calcium into the bones. Some diseases, such as Graves Disease. lead to osteoporosis if untreated. And some medicines (prednisone is one -- that's the one that caused my uncle's problem) can lead to bone thinning.

If you have reason to believe that you have osteoporosis, please consult a doctor. The broken bones associated with this are serious health destroyers.

Answer 2

Oh, for the love...

Men get osteoporosis. It is a condition in which you don't have enough calcium in your bones. Why would men be immune?

"Approximately 50-60 percent of men with osteoporosis have disorders or conditions that can produce bone loss, including hypogonadism (low production of the male sex hormone testosterone), hyperparathyroidism, intestinal disorders, malignancies, steroid therapy (e.g., chronic prednisone treatment), and immobilization."
