Osteoporosis affects millions of people worldwide. In the United Kingdom alone, 3 million people are affected by the condition1.
Osteoporosis is more common in women than men. Half of women over 50 years and 1 third of men over 60 years of age will experience an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime. The primary reason for the increased incidence in women is lower peak bone mass and hormonal changes associated with menopause2.
Although osteoporosis affects more women, there is a common misconception that men are not affected at all. Learn about more common misconceptions in our blog post, 4 Common Osteoporosis Myths.

Often referred to as a ‘silent disease’, osteoporosis develops without any symptoms until a fracture occurs.
Osteoporosis significantly increases the risk of fractures, particularly in the hip, spine and wrist. Hip fractures are particularly serious, often leading to long-term disability, decreased quality of life and increased mortality in older adults3.

Osteoporosis results from an imbalance between bone resorption (breakdown) and bone formation. With age, disease and hormonal changes, the rate of bone resorption exceeds the rate of bone formation4, leading to decreased bone mass and structural deterioration.

Several lifestyle factors can influence the risk of developing osteoporosis. These include inadequate intake of calcium and vitamin D5, smoking6, excessive alcohol consumption7 and a sedentary lifestyle without weight-bearing activity8.
Engaging in regular weight-bearing activity, maintaining a healthy diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol intake can therefore help to maintain bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is commonly diagnosed using a scan, such as a DEXA or REMS. To learn more about DEXA and REMS, read our quick guide here.
Management of osteoporosis may include lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, HRT and courses of medication. Medications may include bisphosphonates, selective oestrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), parathyroid hormone and monoclonal antibodies. All of these act to either help maintain or increase bone density to reduce fracture risk, but often come with unwanted side effects.
Non-pharmaceutical treatments like the Marodyne LiV are available, and changing the outlook for people with osteoporosis. The Marodyne LiV uses Low-intensity Vibration therapy to build bone density and muscle mass, in just 10 minutes of use per day. What’s more, it has no known side effects or contraindications of use.
