Savvy Senior: Men Get Osteoporosis Too

Men Get Osteoporosis Too

Dear Savvy Senior,

Can men get osteoporosis or is it primarily a problem for women? When I fell and broke my wrist last winter the doctor that treated me told me I might have osteoporosis, but I never got it checked. What can you tell me?

Bony Bill

Dear Bill,

Many people think osteoporosis is a woman’s disease, but men can get it too, especially in their later years...
