Why Are Women More Prone to Osteoporosis Than Men?

Here’s a statistic every woman should know: Among individuals aged 50 and above, 6% of men suffer from osteoporosis, while the number jumps to 32.1% for women. For women aged 65 and above, the percentage soars to 51.6%, with the fracture ratio between men and women at 1:3. Nearly two-thirds of women over 80 years old have osteoporosis. Osteoporotic fractures are a leading cause of disability and even death.

🔎 Why does this happen?

Women begin experiencing bone loss earlier than men—typically in their 40s, whereas men start losing bone mass between their 40s to 60s. Women also lose bone at a faster rate:
📉 Annual bone loss rate
✔ Women: 0.4% - 0.6% (pre-menopause), increasing to 1.5% - 2.5% post-menopause.
✔ Men: 0.3% - 0.5% consistently throughout life.

During menopause, estrogen levels decline rapidly, disrupting bone metabolism and leading to accelerated bone loss. Unlike men, who do not experience a rapid bone loss phase, women’s bones weaken dramatically within 1-10 years after menopause.

This is why elderly women often suffer from:
✅ Degenerated joints
✅ Mobility issues
✅ Joint deformities
✅ Severe bone pain

👵 Compare your mother-in-law, grandmother, and grandfather—you’ll likely notice that osteoporosis affects women far more severely.

Recognizing Early Signs of Osteoporosis

Many women don’t notice osteoporosis in its early stages, as symptoms only appear after losing 10% of bone mass. Some warning signs include:
Persistent bone and joint pain
Difficulty flexing or extending fingers
Joint stiffness, swelling, or weakness while walking

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to check your bone health early—including vitamin D levels, which play a key role in calcium absorption.

The Best Time to Protect Your Joints Is Now!

Most women only start paying attention when joint pain becomes unbearable. Unfortunately, by then, bone loss has already progressed significantly. If left untreated, osteoporosis can lead to:
❌ Severe mobility issues
❌ Joint deformities
❌ Long-term bed rest, increasing dependence on others

Prevention is key—and estrogen supplementation is one of the most effective ways to:
✔ Support calcium absorption
✔ Maintain bone density
✔ Balance bone rebuilding
✔ Reduce menopausal symptoms
