Osteoporosis affects men too.
Many people think osteoporosis only affects women – but that isn’t the case.
In fact, 1 in 5 men over 50 will break a bone because of osteoporosis.
Men of all ages can have osteoporosis, but the risk increases as we get older.
Unfortunately, stigma and lack of awareness mean many men don’t realise they could be at risk.
We need to talk about osteoporosis in men.
