A broken bone in your spine is called a vertebral fracture. It is the most common break that occurs as a result of osteoporosis. Fractures of the spine can cause loss of height, a curving of the shoulders and back, and a thickening waistline. Sometimes back pain occurs. Broken bones in the wrist, arm, leg, pelvis or ribs can cause substantial pain and temporary disability.
Surgery, casting or splinting may be required. The worst consequences of osteoporosis can happen after a hip fracture. Hip fractures most often occur in adults older than Almost all people who have hip fractures require surgery to repair the broken bone. A broken hip may lead to a loss of independence. Following surgery, it is common for individuals to need help from family, friends or health care professionals with daily activities such as bathing dressing and shopping.
Complications from surgery can be serious. In fact, after surgery some people require skilled nursing care at a long-term care facility, and sadly, some people even die. Navigation menu. How common is osteoporosis?
Is osteoporosis a normal part of aging? How is osteoporosis diagnosed? What happens when bones break? What can I do to prevent osteoporosis and broken bones? Eat a variety of healthy nutrient-rich foods every day. Eat several servings of fruits and vegetables each day. Get the calcium you need. Low bone mass prevalence was higher among men aged 65 and over No significant difference was seen in low bone mass prevalence among women aged 50—64 Among all adults and both age groups, low bone mass prevalence was higher among women compared with men.
Figure 2. Prevalence of low bone mass among adults aged 50 and over, by sex and age: United States, — Access data table for Figure 2 pdf icon pdf icon.
Overall, the age-adjusted prevalence of osteoporosis among adults aged 50 and over increased from 9. Osteoporosis prevalence among women increased from However, osteoporosis prevalence in men did not significantly change from — 3. Figure 3. Trends in age-adjusted prevalence of osteoporosis among adults aged 50 and over, by sex: United States, — through — Percentages are age adjusted by the direct method to the projected U.

Trends in age-adjusted prevalence of low bone mass among adults aged 50 and over, by sex: United States, — through — Access data table for Figure 4 pdf icon pdf icon. In —, the age-adjusted prevalence of osteoporosis at either the femur neck or lumbar spine or both among adults aged 50 and over was Osteoporosis prevalence was higher in women than men and higher among adults aged 65 and over than adults aged 50— From — through —, the age-adjusted prevalence of osteoporosis in women increased from No significant change was seen in low bone mass prevalence for men or women from — through — Monitoring the prevalence of osteoporosis and low bone mass may inform public health programs that focus on reducing or preventing osteoporosis and its consequences.
Healthy People has a goal of 5. In the United States, the prevalence of osteoporosis among adults aged 50 and over at the femur neck only was 6.
Low bone mass : Defined by a bone mineral density BMD value at either the femur neck or lumbar spine or both that is between 1 and 2.
The current clinical guidelines recommend that assessment of osteoporosis and low bone mass be based on the degree of low BMD at either the femur neck region of the proximal femur top of thigh bone where it meets the hip or the lumbar spine 5—7. Osteoporosis : Defined by a BMD value at either the femur neck or lumbar spine or both that is 2. Data from NHANES — were used to test differences between subgroups and calculate the most recent estimates of osteoporosis and low bone mass.
NHANES is a cross-sectional survey designed to monitor the health and nutritional status of the civilian noninstitutionalized U. The sample design includes oversampling to obtain reliable estimates of health and nutritional estimates for population subgroups. Examination sample weights, which account for the differential probabilities of selection, nonresponse, and noncoverage, were incorporated into the estimation process.
All variance estimates accounted for the complex survey design by using Taylor series linearization. Overall and sex-specific prevalence estimates were age adjusted to the projected U. Census population using age groups 50—64 and 65 and over to compare men and women or time periods that differ with respect to their age distributions.
Tests for linear trends were evaluated using orthogonal polynomials. All differences reported are statistically significant unless otherwise indicated. We have to continue our efforts to eradicate this disease. Spine BMD was added in , providing the opportunity to estimate the burden of osteoporosis using BMD at either the hip or spine. The study estimates that among adults age 50 years and older, The study applied prevalence estimates of osteoporosis and low bone mass from representative national data collected in NHANES to US Census population data to estimate the recent and future number of older individuals with osteoporosis and low bone mass.
