Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: Osteoporosis is a chronic skeletal disease in which the risk of fracture increases due to a decrease in bone strength through a reduction in bone mass and fine structural deterioration of bone tissue. Osteoporosis increases with age and is more common in postmenopausal women, but it is also a major health problem in men.
This study presented the latest findings on the risk factors for osteoporosis in men through a literature review and, based on this, suggested public health intervention strategies necessary to prevent and treat osteoporosis in men.
Method: We selected and reviewed the 10 most cited papers among 1,453 articles on the risk factors for osteoporosis in men published in PubMed in the last 10 years (2011-2020).
Results: The risk factors contributing to the development of osteoporosis in men have been identified as genetic predisposition, lifestyle and diet, alcohol intake and smoking, vitamin D deficiency, lack of physical activity, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, and underweight or obesity.
Conclusion: Public health preventive strategies regarding the risk factors for osteoporosis in men require calcium supplementation, increased bone density screening rates, and transparent health communication related to osteoporosis treatment.
