  • Title: [Male osteoporosis].
    Author: Andersson S, Välimäki M.
    Journal: Duodecim; 2009; 125(10):1109-16. PubMed ID: 19585908.
    Abstract:
    Osteoporotic fractures in men are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Incidence of fractures increases with age. Hormonal changes associated with ageing predispose to osteoporosis also in men, although secondary causes in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis become more pronounced. Accordingly, these should always be excluded before osteoporosis can be considered age-related or idiopathic. Prevention and basic care of osteoporosis include adequate supply of calcium and vitamin D, increase in physical activity and cessation of smoking. Bisphosphonates, calcitonin and teriparatide are applicable drugs for male osteoporosis.
