Osteoporosis can affect both men and women of all races, however, Caucasian and Asian women are at the highest risk. Hormone changes after menopause also increase the risk of developing osteoporosis

This condition has a tendency to run in families, so genetics are often responsible for a prevalence of osteoporosis. However, despite individual differences, the single most common and universal factor increasing the chance of developing osteoporosis is growing older. If you suspect you are at risk of developing osteoporosis, contact your doctor for a screening today.
