6 What is Boys and Men s Health?

7 THESORRYSTATISTICS 84% more likely to die from arterial diseases 39% more likely to die from diabetes 29% more likely to be diagnosed with cancer and 40% more likely to die as a result 70% more likely to die from heart disease

8 THESORRYSTATISTICS 97% of workplace deaths (2005: 1,064 of 1,097) 35% of suicide attempts are male, but 80% of successful suicides 80% of spinal cord injuries, substance abuse, violence and crime

9 Learning Objectives: Appreciate the prevalence of male osteoporosis To review the available treatments for osteoporosis in men

10 Definitions: Osteoporosis 1913 Webster An absorption of bone so that the bone tissue becomes unusually porous. It occurs especially in elderly men and postmenopausal women, and predisposes the elderly to fractures of the bones consensus conference A systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue with a resultant increase in bone fragility and risk of fracture NIH (US) modifications A skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength predisposing a person to an increased risk of fracture. Bone strength reflects the integration of two main features; bone density and bone quality Consensus development conference. Am J Med 1993;94: NIH Consensus Development Panel. JAMA 2001;285:

11 Definitions: BMD Results Status 1, 2 Normal T-score +2.5 to 1.0, inclusive Osteopenia Between 1.0 and 2.5 Osteoporosis Severe osteoporosis fragility fracture 1. Kanis JA, et al. J Bone Miner Res 1994;9: WHO, Geneva 1994.

12 Questions: 1) 1 in 8 men over age 50 will suffer an osteoporotic fracture (T/F) 2) Mortality related to osteoporosis in men is less than women (T/F) 3) Women are 6 times more likely to be treated after an osteoporotic fracture than men (T/F)

13 Fracture incidence rate per 10,000 population in Leicester, UK, by age and gender. From the Primer on the Metabolic Bone Diseases and Disorders of Mineral Metabolism, 7 th Edition.

14 Osteoporosis in Men 1 in 8 men over age 50 will suffer an osteoporotic fracture (1 in 4 for women) 30% of hip fractures occur in men More data needed to clarify BMD vs fracture risk in men BMD may reflect larger bone size Fracture risk also depends on likelihood of falls, bone size, geometry, as well as other health factors Josse RG. J Sex Reprod Med 2001 Melton LJI. J Bone Miner Res 1998 Gilsanz V, et al. Radiology 1994

15 Osteoporosis is often not treated in men Gender differences in bisphosphonate prescription: 1 in 4 women affected, 1 in 5 treated (20.4%) 1 in 8 men affected, 1 in 30 treated (3.3%) Treatment rates following atraumatic fracture requiring hospitalization: 4.5% of men treated at discharge (vs. 27% women) 27% of men treated at 5-year follow-up (vs. 71% women) CIHI 2009; Kiebzak Arch Intern Med 2002; Pajnu BJUI 2008

16 Mortality of hip fractures 30 % Men Women 5 0 Overall <75 years >75 years Poór et al., Osteoporosis Int 1995;5:419-26

17 Osteoporosis in Men: Summary Lower risk of osteoporotic fractures, BUT Less likely to be treated than women More likely to die after a fracture

21 When to order Densitometry in Men: 1) Age 50 or older with 1 major or 2 minor risk factors 2) Age 65 or older 3) Younger patients with low-trauma fractures 4) In the presence of diseases or medications that predispose to bone loss or fracture

22 Major risk factors Age 65 or older Vertebral compression fracture Fragility fracture after age 40 Family history of osteoporotic fracture (especially maternal hip fracture) Systemic glucocorticoid therapy of at least 3 months duration Malabsorption syndrome Primary hyperparathyroidism Propensity to fall Appearance of osteopenia on radiograph Hypogonadism
