Vietnam Osteoporosis Workshop, HCM Cty 2006
Background
• Generally unrecognized 20 yrs ago.
• An important public health problem.
• 30% of osteoporotic fractures occur in men.
Vietnam Osteoporosis Workshop, HCM Cty 2006
Skeleton development• Peak bone mass closely tied to pubertal
development.
• Male-female differences in the skeleton appear during adolescence.
• Peak bone mass achieved somewhat later in boys than girls.
• Trabecular bone: boys=girls
• Cortical bone: boys > girls
• The reasons for sex difference in skeleton development unclear, but could be related to sex steroid action.

Prevalence of Osteoporosis
• US, men 50y+: 3% to 6% (vs. 13-18% in women) (NHANES III, 1984-1994).
• Canada, men 50y+: 2.9% at the lumbar spine and 4.8% at the femoral neck. (2001)
• By the year 2020:
– Osteoporosis: 3.3 million Men
– Osteopenia: 17.1 million Men

Causes of Osteoporosis in Men
• Primary:
– Aging
– Idiopathic:
• unknown aetiology, possibly genetic factors
• more common in young men
• Secondary
Vietnam Osteoporosis Workshop, HCM Cty 2006
Secondary Osteoporosis in Men• Hypogonadism
• Glucocorticoid excess
• Alcoholism, tobacco abuse
• Renal insufficiency
• Gastrointestinal, hepatic disorders, malabsorption
• Hyperparathyroidism
• Hypercalciuria
• Anticonvulsants
• Thyrotoxicosis
• Chronic respiratory disorders
• Anaemias, hemoglobinpathies
• Immobilization
• Osteoporosis imperfecta (OI)
• Homocystinuria
• Systemic mastocytosis
• Neoplastic diseases
• Rheumatoid arthritis

Osteoporotic fracture in Men
• Lower incidence rates compared to women.
• 30% of osteoporotic fractures occur in men.
• Increased with advancing age.
• Increased with lower BMD.
• BMD-independent factors involved.
• Greater post-fracture mortality compared to those without fracture.

Evaluation BMD in Men
• Guidelines for the evaluation of osteoporosis in men not well validated.
• Whether use T-scores based on a male-specific reference range or by using the same reference range used in women has been controversial.
Currently use a male-specific reference range is suggested.
Vietnam Osteoporosis Workshop, HCM Cty 2006
Indication for BMD testing
• Men 50y+ who have suffered a fracture including those with vertebral deformity.
• Younger men who suffer low trauma fractures.
• Men with secondary causes of bone loss, including men treated with glucocorticoids or other medications associated with osteoporosis.
Vietnam Osteoporosis Workshop, HCM Cty 2006
Laboratory testing
• Serum Ca, P, Creatinine, ALK, WBC.
• Liver function tests.
• Protein electrophoresis in those >50y.
• Serum 25(OH) vitamin D and PTH.
• Serum testosterone and liteinizing hormone.
• 24h urine calcium and creatinine
• Targeted diagnostic testing in men with signs, symptoms, or other indications of secondary disorders.
Vietnam Osteoporosis Workshop, HCM Cty 2006
Osteoporosis prevention in Men
• Similar to those in women
• Excellent nutrition and exercise
• Lifestyle
• Calcium and Vitamin D supplementations
• Increasing strength and balance
• Early identifying causes of secondary osteoporosis
