Did you know 1 in 2 women and 1 in 4 men over 50 will fracture a bone due to osteoporosis?
Often called a “silent disease,” it shows no symptoms until a fracture occurs.
Osteoporosis, marked by low bone density, weakens bone structure over time, making fractures much more likely.
As Featured in Media
1 in 2 women and 1 in 4 men over the age of 50 will experience a bone fracture due to osteoporosis.
Approximately 6.2 million Australians aged 50 and above are living with poor bone health.
It's estimated that an osteoporotic fracture occurred every 2.7 minutes among Australians aged 50 and over.
If you are over 50, your risk of developing osteoporosis significantly increases due to the natural ageing process, which affects bone density and strength. For women, the risk is particularly high after menopause, as the decline in oestrogen levels accelerates bone loss. Statistically, around 1 in 2 women and 1 in 4 men over 50 will experience an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime. This condition often progresses silently, with no noticeable symptoms until a fracture occurs, making proactive screening essential for early detection and prevention.
In men, while osteoporosis is less common, the risk still rises significantly with age, often linked to lifestyle factors, medical conditions, and lower testosterone levels. Both genders experience gradual bone loss, but lifestyle choices such as poor nutrition, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and physical inactivity can further increase the likelihood of developing osteoporosis.
