Men achieve a higher peak bone mass than women, so have a greater reserve. Also, women experience 10-15 year of accelerated bone mass loss following menopause. Osteoporosis Canada, indicate that over 80% of all fractures in people 50+ are caused by osteoporosis. In fact, osteoporosis causes 70-90% of 30,000 hip fractures annually.
