Scope

What is the prevalence of osteoporosis in the general population?

Definition

Spain: ~2 million women with osteoporosis; prevalent in 26.1% of women 50+	Contains information on fractures and prevalence of osteoporosis across Europe with references for each of the facts		International Osteoporosis Foundation http://www.iofbonehealth.org/facts-and-statistics.html
7.8 million affected (6.5 million women)	Germany, 2003	Claims data for patients with osteoporosis (M80, M81) or an osteoporosis-related fracture diagnosis (S22, S32, S42, S52, S72, S82) or treatment with anti-osteoporosis drugs	Epidemiology, treatment and costs of osteoporosis in Germany – the BoneEVA Study; Osteoporosis Int. 2007 v.18(1):77-84
40.8% in women >50 and 17.7% in men >50	Denmark, 1995-1999	Based on normal Danish values for BMD, the expected number of subjects aged 50 years + with osteoporosis according to the WHO definition was calculated	Osteoporosis is markedly underdiagnosed: a nationwide study from Denmark; Osteoporos Int. 2005 Feb;16(2):134-41.
Women, 45-59yrs 5.0% had a BMD <2.5 SD of the mean premenopausal reference value and were thus considered to be osteoporotic. Patients were classified as slow (41.7%), borderline (28.2%), and fast (30.1%) bone losers. By integrating the estimated annual percent bone loss with baseline bone mineral content, 27.6% of the postmenopausal women were identified as at risk of developing osteoporosis at age 65 years.	n=2286, Italy, risk of osteoporosis	Risk of osteoporosis by combining a baseline distal forearm bone mineral content measurement with an estimation of annual percent bone loss as shown by plasma bone Gla protein, serum alkaline phosphatase, and fasting urinary creatinine-corrected calcium and hydroxyproline	Prevalence of osteoporosis at the age intervals shown in Sweden using female-derived reference ranges at the femoral neck.
