Osteoporosis is also common in men. While osteoporosis occurs in 1 out of every 2 women over 50, it can occur in 1 out of every 5 men over 50.

Furthermore, it can be seen in men under 50 if there are risk factors such as; corticosteroid use, organ transplantation and immunosuppressant drug use, diabetes, thyroid diseases, other endocrine disorders disrupting hormonal balance, cancer treatments, etc. Additionally, due to genetic inheritance, it is possible to encounter idiopathic (cause unknown) osteoporosis in men at a young age.
