Understanding Risks
It is impossible to predict who will get osteoporosis. However,
there are several factors that can put certain men at increased
risk. These include:
- Age
- Low testosterone levels
- Family history of osteoporosis
- Thin and/or small frame
- Use of certain medications such as corticosteroids,
anticonvulsants and anti-rejection drugs
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Smoking
- Lack of weight-bearing exercise
If you have any of these risk factors you may want to find
out more about osteoporosis prevention from your physician or
from other providers of information on osteoporosis.1
