Being female puts you at risk of developing osteoporosis and broken bones. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation here are important facts every woman should know:
-
Of the estimated 10 million Americans with osteoporosis, about eight million or 80% are women.
-
Approximately one in two women over age 50 will break a bone because of osteoporosis.
-
A woman’s risk of breaking a hip is equal to her combined risk of breast, uterine and ovarian cancer.
There are multiple reasons why women are more likely to get osteoporosis than men, including:
-
Women tend to have smaller, thinner bones than men.
-
Estrogen, a hormone in women that protects bones, decreases sharply when women reach menopause which can cause bone loss. This is why the chance of developing osteoporosis increases as women reach menopause.
