Who is most at risk for developing osteoporosis?

More than 28 million Americans either have osteoporosis or are at risk of it, but the disease primarily hits people over the age of 65. It's often considered a women's disease because of the current statistics: 25 percent of women over 65 have the disease compared to 15 percent of men, and one-third of women will suffer a broken bone due to osteoporosis compared to one-sixth of men. Osteoporosis isn't gender-specific.

As men's average life spans keep increasing, we're seeing the osteoporosis rates of men increase as well. When men get to the age of 75, their rate of having the disease increases to 25 percent, too. Women just tend to get osteoporosis earlier because men's bone density and bone mass are naturally thicker.

Women also lose density after menopause, since they lose some estrogen, which is paramount in helping deposit calcium. But men catch up later because as they reach 75, they lack both the mass and sufficient estrogen and testosterone to help build bone.

The people who have been exposed to asbestos and work in the building, construction, shipbuilding, railroad, and automotive industries have a very high risk for developing mesothelioma. Because the industries involved consist mainly of men, over 80% of patients with mesothelioma are male. Any type of exposure to the toxic mineral will increase a persons chance for developing mesothelioma.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
