I’m guilty of looking at osteoporosis as a woman’s problem. Obviously I know that both men and women do get weaker bones as they age, but didn’t think in detail about men getting it.
From the article:
The researchers examined 35 men with an average age of 34 years and an average body-mass index (BMI, a measure of height and weight) of 36.5, which is considered obese.
The study revealed that the men with more visceral and total fat in their abdomen had less bone strength than those with less abdominal fat. The researchers noted that the men’s age and total BMI did not have an impact on their bone strength.
