The prevalence of radiographically ascertained vertebral fractures in a random sample of 413 in Mexican men is 9.7% (95% CI 6.85-12.55). Increase of vertebral fracture rises with age from 2.0% in the youngest group (50-59 years) to 21.4% in the oldest group (80 years and over).
This is the first population-based study of vertebral fractures in Mexican men using a standardized methodology reported in other studies.
The presence of radiographic vertebral fractures increases with age. This same pattern was found in Mexican women with steady age increments, but the higher prevalence of fractures in women starts at age 70, whereas in men, the higher prevalence starts a decade later (80 years and over).
The standardized prevalence per 1,000 men 50 years and over in the Mexican population for the year 2005 is 65.8 (95% CI 29.9-105.5), and it is 68.6 (95% CI 32.2-108.7) in the US population for the year 2000.
在墨西哥男性的随机样本中，通过影像学确认的椎体骨折发生率为 9.7%（95%CI：6.85-12.55）。随着年龄的增长，椎体骨折的发生率从最年轻组（50-59 岁）的 2.0%上升到最年长组（80 岁及以上）的 21.4%。
这是首次使用其他研究中报告的标准化方法对墨西哥男性的椎体骨折进行的基于人群的研究。
影像学椎体骨折的发生率随年龄增长而增加。这在墨西哥女性中也呈现出同样的模式，且骨折的高发生率从 70 岁开始，而在男性中，高发生率则始于 10 年后（80 岁及以上）。
2005 年，墨西哥 50 岁及以上男性的标准化流行率为每 1000 人 65.8（95%CI：29.9-105.5），而 2000 年美国的流行率为每 1000 人 68.6（95%CI：32.2-108.7）。
