==Overview==
Osteoporosis is a major health problem involving 43.9% (43.4 million) of the male and female [[population]] in the United States. The [[disease]] incidence is increased by age. The most common involved age group is 80 years and older. White females and African-American males have the highest incidence among the other races. The [[incidence]] of lifetime osteoporotic fracture, as the most important outcome of osteoporosis, is approximately one out of every two women and also one in four men over 50 worldwide. More than 1.5 million [[fractures]] occurred secondary to osteoporosis per year; among which are 300,000 [[hip fracture]], 700,000 [[vertebral fracture]], 250,000 [[wrist fracture]], and more than 300,000 other [[bones]] [[fractures]]. Upon the major [[Epidemiology|epidemiological]] studies occurred in the US, it is estimated that 10.3% (10.2 million) of more than 50 years old people in the US are involved in osteoporosis. The total share of Europe, USA, and Japan in osteoporosis is about 75 million people.

===Prevalence===
===Prevalence===
Upon the major [[Epidemiology|epidemiological]] studies occurred in the US, it is estimated that 10.3% (10.2 million) of more than 50 year old people in the US are suffering with osteoporosis; which is based upon [[femoral neck]] [[Bone mineral density|BMDs]] only. However, based on [[Bone mineral density|BMD]] in either [[bone]] sites, it seems that 43.9% (43.4 million) of Americans have the disease. In developed countries, the average [[prevalence]] of [[osteoporosis]] is 3871 per 100,000 patients. While [[osteoporosis]] occurs in people from all ethnic groups, European or Asian ancestry predisposes an individual to [[osteoporosis]].<ref name="pmid24771492">{{cite journal| author=Wright NC, Looker AC, Saag KG, Curtis JR, Delzell ES, Randall S et al.| title=The recent prevalence of osteoporosis and low bone mass in the United States based on bone mineral density at the femoral neck or lumbar spine. | journal=J Bone Miner Res | year= 2014 | volume= 29 | issue= 11 | pages= 2520-6 | pmid=24771492 | doi=10.1002/jbmr.2269 | pmc=4757905 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=24771492  }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |author=Melton LJ |title=Epidemiology worldwide |journal=Endocrinol.

[[Osteoporosis]] usually affects individuals of all races. Through the Third [[National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey]] (NHANES III), a large population was studied; that showed that 20% of white [[Postmenopausal|postmenopausal]] women, 10% of Hispanic women, and just 5% of African-American women were suffering with [[osteoporosis]] (defined as T-score of less than -2.5). Taking the cutoff point used for women into account for men, the prevalence of [[osteoporosis]] is found to be 4%, 2%, and 3% in white, Hispanic, and African-American men, respectively.<ref name="pmid9383679">{{cite journal |vauthors=Looker AC, Orwoll ES, Johnston CC, Lindsay RL, Wahner HW, Dunn WL, Calvo MS, Harris TB, Heyse SP |title=Prevalence of low femoral bone density in older U.S. adults from NHANES III |journal=J.

===Gender===
===Gender===
Females are more prone to develop [[osteoporosis]] than men. The lifetime risk of [[fractures]] is three times more in women than in men, but men are associated with higher [[Mortality rate|mortality rates]] than that of women.  Meanwhile, the number of men who experience such low [[bone]] mass that would encounter them to the greatest risk of [[Bone fracture|fracture]] is lower than women. In fact, the percentage of men and women, who have [[Bone mineral density|bone mineral density (BMD)]] of lower than -2.5 [[Standard deviation|SD]] below the mean for 20-29 years old women, are 4% and 20%, respectively.<ref name="pmid11605734">{{cite journal |vauthors=Melton LJ, Orwoll ES, Wasnich RD |title=Does bone density predict fractures comparably in men and women? |journal=Osteoporos Int |volume=12 |issue=9 |pages=707–9 |year=2001 |pmid=11605734 |doi= |url=}}</ref>

Regarding some of the age-dependent variations in the effects of gender on osteoporotic [[fractures]], it seems that the some of the differences between men and women clinical features and outcome relied on age variety. Although the [[life expectancy]] reduction due to [[osteoporosis]] is the same between men and women, the proportion of lost years would be higher among men; reflecting that the [[hip fracture]] burden is more on men [[survival]].<ref name="pmid12195537" />

Overview

Osteoporosis is a major health problem involving 43.9% (43.4 million) of the male and female population in the United States. The disease incidence is increased by age. The most common involved age group is 80 years and older. White females and African-American males have the highest incidence among the other races. The incidence of lifetime osteoporotic fracture, as the most important outcome of osteoporosis, is approximately one out of every two women and also one in four men over the age of 50 worldwide. More than 1.5 million fractures occurred secondary to osteoporosis per year; among which are 300,000 hip fracture, 700,000 vertebral fracture, 250,000 wrist fracture, and more than 300,000 other bones fractures. Major epidemiological studies conducted in the US, estimated that 10.3% (10.2 million) of people older than 50 years are affected with osteoporosis. Osteoporosis affects about 75 million people in Europe, USA, and Japan.

Epidemiology and demographics

Incidence

  • The incidence of osteoporosis is approximately 7,000 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[1]
  • The incidence of lifetime osteoporotic fracture, as the most important outcome of osteoporosis, is approximately 50,000 per 100,000 for female and 25,000 per 100,000 over 50 male individuals worldwide. More than 1.5 million fractures occur secondary to osteoporosis per year, among which are 300,000 hip fracture, 700,000 vertebral fracture, 250,000 wrist fracture, and more than 300,000 other bones fractures.[1]
  • Osteoporosis is the main cause of 8.9 million fractures in a year, worldwide. Hence, it can be assumed that osteoporosis leads to one fracture in every 3 seconds.[2]
  • The estimated women population under the burden of osteoporosis influence is about 200 million, worldwide; two third of them are of age 90, two fifth of them with age 80, one fifth of them 70, and one tenth of them 60 years old.
  • In women, the rates of fracture in forearm, humerus, hip, and spine are 80%, 75%, 70%, and 58%, respectively. However, women encounter the fractures 1.6 times more commonly than men, constituting a total of 61% of osteoporotic fractures.[2]
  • It is estimated that in 2050, the rate of hip fracture will increase by 310% and 240% in male and females, respectively, in contrast with 1990.[3]
  • When the lifetime risks of fractures in hip, forearm, and vertebrae is clinically interpreted, it comes out to be 40%, that is the same as cardiovascular events.[4]
  • It is assumed that large percentage (almost 80%) of individuals with high risk of fracture and already history of at least one osteoporotic fracture, are neither identified nor treated.[5]
  • International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) study, done in 11 countries, showed that the following factors lead to lack of osteoporosis diagnosis and management:

Prevalence

Age

  • The prevalence of osteoporosis increase with age in both genders. The highest diagnosis of osteoporosis is found among people 80 years and older.
  • 35% of women and 11% of men older than 80years are affected with osteoporosis. .[8][9]

Race

  • Osteoporosis usually affects individuals of all races.
  • 20% of white postmenopausal women, 10% of Hispanic women, and just 5% of African-American women are affected by osteoporosis (defined as T-score of less than -2.5).

Gender

  • Females are more prone to develop osteoporosis than men.
  • The lifetime risk of fractures is three times more in women than in men, but men are associated with higher mortality rates than that of women.

Region

Europe

  • WHO estimation of the osteoporosis population in Europe is 22 million females and 5.5 million males in 2010 (total of 27.5 million) which is going to rise about 23% until 2025 (total of 33.9 million).
  • New fractures in the EU during 2010 was estimated at 3.5 million, including approximately 620,000 hip fractures, 520,000 vertebral fractures, 560,000 forearm fractures and 1,800,000 other fractures.
  • The number of fractures in a year assumed to grow from 3.5 million in 2010 to 4.5 million in 2025, suggesting a 28% increase.
  • 43,000 people have died in 2010 because of osteoporosis complications. It is assumed that osteoporotic fractures are the main reason of 26,300 life-year lost in Europe, in 2010.[10]
Denmark
  • From 1987-1997, in a 10-year period, the rate of osteoporosis increased by 56%, among which 41% were women and 10.4% were men older than 50 years old.[11]
Finland
  • In Finland, hip fracture rate was found to be increased by 70% from 1992 to 2002, in a 10-year period.[12]
Georgia
  • In Georgia, it is assumed that only one patient with hip fracture out of four seeks medical care.[13]
Germany
  • In Germany, a study of fracture rate showed that 45% of men and 31% of women between 25 to 74 years old experience fracture, while 42% of men and 40% of women between 65 to 74 years old had fractures due to osteoporosis.[14]
Greece
  • Hip fracture rate was increased by 7.6% from 1977 until 1992, in a five year period.[15]
Kazakhstan
Romania
Russia
  • In Russia, 14 million people (about 10%) are affected with osteoporosis, while 20 million suffer from osteopenia.
  • About 34 million people are at high risk for osteoporotic fracture.
Slovenia
  • Generally, hip fracture rate increased by 40% from 1998 to 2005 during a seven year period.[16]
Spain
  • The incidence of hip fracture cases increased to 54% from 1998 to 2002 during a 14-year period.
  • This increase was observed more in women (64%) than men (19%).[17]
Sweden
  • Lifetime osteoporotic fractures are 46% in women and 22% in men.[18]
Ukraine
UK
  • Half of women and one-fifth of men older than 50 years are predicted to have osteoporotic fracture.[20]

North America

Canada

USA

  • About 44 million people older than 50 years old in the US are suffering from osteoporosis.
  • More than half of them are over 50 years old. Remaining the current conditions and utilities, it is estimated that more than 61 million people in 2020 will be involved in osteoporosis. Women constitute 80% of the osteoporotic population.[22]

Latin America

  • It is estimated that in a period of 60 years, from 1990 to 2050, Latin America is experiencing a 5 times increase in hip fracture, in men and women between 50 to 64 years of age. Surprisingly, it will be 8 times for age of more than 65 years.[23]
  • Regarding 655,648 hip fractures in 2050, it will directly cost about $13 billion.[24]
  • 23% to 30% of the patients with hip fracture will die in the first year after fracture, more in men compared to women.[25]
  • Vertebral fractures prevalence is 15% in women more than 50 years of age, in which 7% is among 50-60 years and 28% is among more than 80 years women.[26]
Argentina
  • Half of the women, >65 year old, suffer from osteopenia and one fourth of them with osteoporosis. It is estimated to be 5.24 million osteopenic and 2.62 million osteoporotic women in 2050. The population of above 50 years old are encountering 90 hip fractures a day (34,000 per year). It will be more than 63,000 one in women and more than 13,000 in men, by 2050. Vertebral fracture rate in postmenopausal women is 16.2%. The total burden of both hip and vertebral osteoporotic fractures, including hospitalization costs, is more than $190 million per each year.[27]
Brazil
  • One person in every 17 people, totally about 10 million people are suffering from osteoporosis. 37.5% of men and 21% of women would have osteoporotic fracture during life.[28] One person in every 3 patients encountering hip fracture would have osteoporosis, however, one out of five will receive treatment.[29] The total economic burden of osteoporotic fracture is assumed to be $6 million.[30]
Chile
Mexico
Venezuela
  • In Venezuela, 5.5% of women and 1.5% men of 50 years of age would have the hip fracture. For other sites of fractures, the percentages are 13.6% and 3.5% for women and men, respectively. It is assumed that 9.6 hip fracture a day in 1995, will grow to 67 fractures a day in 2030. After 70 years of age, only one out of ten people may have normal bone mineral density.[32]

The Middle East and Africa

  • Vitamin D deficiency is really prevalent in this region, despite the abundance of day hours sun there. The rate of death after osteoporotic fracture in the area is 2-3 times of Western societies. The major reason for the issue is lack of utilities, less than one DXA scan for 1 million people in Morocco.[33]
Egypt
Iran
  • In 2010, the hip fracture rate was 50,000 and will become 62,000 in 2020. The hip fracture rate of Iran is 0.85% of worldwide and 12.4% of the Middle-East whole burden.[35]
Jordan
  • Hip fractures are growing from 1008 per year in 2008 to four times of the original size in 2050.[16]
Lebanon
Saudi Arabia
Syria
  • From approximately 15,000 vertebral osteoporotic fractures per year, only one-fifth seeking medical services.[16]
Turkey
  • It is assumed that 24,000 hip fracture in male and female above 50 years of age will become 36,000 in 2020.[38]

Asia

  • In 2050, more than half of the whole hip fractures of the world would be from Asia. The main reason will be improving the utilities and increasing the medical services availability. Currently, more than half of the population of China are living in rural area, managing fractures conservatively at home and not seeking any medical services. On the other hand, major facilities, like densitometers, will become more accessible for everyone.[39]
China
  • In China, 70 million cases of osteoporosis are leading to 678,000 hip fractures, annually.
  • Men are more suffering from hip fracture than women.
  • The holistic prevalence of osteoporosis in women is about two folds of men.
  • The total economic burden of one hip fracture is about $3,603, which may be measured as $1.5 billion per year. It is assumed to grow to $12.5 billion in 2020 and more than $ 264.7 billion in 2050. Facility limitation is the major problem of China in managing osteoporosis; in 2008 the whole DXA scanners number for the whole 1.3 billion Chinese was 450. [40][41]
Hong Kong, China
  • In a 6 million population, hip fracture management is of 1% of whole hospital economic burden that is $17 million.[42]
India
Japan
Korea
  • During a 10-year period, the number of hip fractures raised to 300%. In the population above 75 years of age, hip fracture occurs in 4.3 per 1000 women and 2.97 per 1000 men.
Singapore
  • In Singapore, hip fracture in men and women has increased to 1.5 times and 5 times, respectively, in 1998 compared to 1960's.[46]

Oceania

Australia
  • The total economic burden of the osteoporosis is $7.4 billion, annually.
  • There are 2.2 million cases of osteoporosis, while 42% of men and 51% of women are encountering bone density loss.
  • The lifetime risk of women for fragility fractures is about twice the risk of men.[47]
New Zealand
  • The total economic burden of osteoporosis is more than $1.15 billion, annually.
  • It is assumed to be increased by more than 30%, in 2020.
  • Women encounter osteoporotic fractures more than men.
  • 5% of all fractures occurred in hip[48]
