Study shows some athletic men may risk low bone density

According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, osteoporosis affects more than 2 million men in the United States and nearly 12 million more have osteopenia -- clinically significant low bone density that is less severe than osteoporosis. Now, a new study from the University of Missouri-Columbia has found that men engaging predominantly in low-impact forms of exercise have an increased incidence of osteopenia -- a condition resulting in two times the risk of bone fracture.

   Contrary to a widely held assumption, high-trauma nonspine fractures in older women and men, such as from a car crash, are associated with low bone mineral density and an increased risk of a subsequent fracture, according to a study in the Nov. 28 issue of JAMA. These findings suggest that older adults who experience these fractures should be evaluated for osteoporosis.

   For a growing number of women in rural Mexico -- and around the world -- marital sex represents their single greatest risk for HIV infection. According to a new Mailman School Study, because marital infidelity by men is so deeply ingrained across many cultures, existing HIV prevention programs put a growing number of women at risk of developing HIV.

10. Prostate cancer increases hip fracture risk by eight times in 50 to 65 year-olds
    10-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Men with prostate cancer are four times more likely to suffer a hip fracture and two times more likely to suffer any kind of fracture. The hip fracture risk rises to eight times in men aged 50-65. Prostate cancer is now a leading cause of male deaths in the US and Europe. The latest study, in BJU International, shows that the fracture risk appears shortly after diagnosis and is still pronounced in long-term survivors.
