There is no exact age that osteoporosis begins as there are multiple cofactors that can bring on an early onset of osteoporosis. This gives general types of osteoporosis its 3 types.
primary type 1: usually presents in women after menopause
primary type 2: usually occurs in a ratio of 2:1 female:male in ages 75 and above
secondary: arises at any age and affects men and women equally.
Osteoporosis affects 55% of people aged 50 and above, in which 80% of these people are women.Report this post
