Although the disease can strike at any age, osteoporosis prevails in people over 50. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, the disease will affect one in four women and one in eight men. Seventy percent of hip fractures – which result in death in up to 20% of cases and disability among 50% of survivors – are osteoporosis-related.
