Although osteoporotic fractures have long been considered a special problem for postmenopausal women, osteoporosis is also an important clinical issue in men. The causes and clinical spectrum of osteoporosis is similar in men and women, but there are definite gender differences that reflect sexual differences in skeletal development, age-related bone loss, and secondary causes of metabolic bone disease.
尽管骨质疏松性骨折长期以来一直被视为绝经后女性的一个特殊问题，但骨质疏松在男性中也是一个重要的临床问题。男性和女性骨质疏松的病因及临床谱相似，但存在明显的性别差异，这些差异反映了骨骼发育、年龄相关骨质流失以及代谢性骨病继发原因方面的性别差异。
