Dr. Elizabeth Regan, the senior study author, stated that they expected women to be the worst sufferers but it was men who were found to be at a greater risk. It was also revealed that if men suffering from osteoporosis also happen to have hip fractures then they tend to do a lot worse than women.

Osteoporosis makes the bones brittle and weak to an extent where a deep bend or a coughing fit too can lead to a fracture. About one in every 10 women above 50 years of age and one in every 50 women are known to suffer from osteoporosis according to the CDC.
