Scope

What is the prevalence of osteoporosis in the general population?

Definition

Rate (age, sex ratio) Context (population size studied, location, date data taken, end-point measured) Definition of end-point Reference
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 [1]
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 [2]
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 [3]
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 [4]
