In the United States, an estimated 10 million people age 50 years and older have osteoporosis. Most of these people are women, but about 2 million are men. Just over 43 million more people — including 16 million men — have low bone mass, putting them at increased risk for osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is aptly named the Silent Disease because most people do not know they have it until they break a bone!
