This “silent disease” is more common in women. It affects almost 20% (1 in 5) of women aged 50 and over and almost 5% (1 in 20) of men aged 50 and over.

Nearly 1 in 5 Medicare beneficiaries have died from complications within 12 months after an osteoporotic fracture — and more than 60% were women.
