2008 update

Because osteoporosis is clinically silent until fractures occur, men at risk for osteoporosis and those who have the disease need to be identified. Once identified, they can be readily treated, thus possibly decreasing the morbidity and mortality that are associated with osteoporotic fractures.

Objectives

• Be familiar with osteoporosis in men
• Understand the common co-morbidities associated with male osteoporosis
• Understand the common investigations in men, and the limitations of the BMD measurements
• Understand the treatment options in male osteoporosis
• Review the common statistics associated with male osteoporosis
