Osteoporosis is a medical condition characterized by decreased bone mineral density, resulting in fragile bones that are more prone to fractures. While commonly associated with postmenopausal women due to hormonal changes, osteoporosis is also a significant and often overlooked health issue in men. Many men remain unaware of their osteoporosis status until they face serious health complications. This under-screening, under-diagnosis, highlights the need for greater awareness of osteoporosis in men.
