“…Sundh et al emphasized that serum vitamin D is associated with higher cortical porosity in elderly men (30). Other studies also revealed the importance of vitamin D deficiency in male osteoporosis (12,15,19,31). The provinces where our study was performed are disadvantaged areas in terms of climate characteristics and insufficient sun exposure, when evaluated with regard to vitamin D synthesis.…”

“…Dual energy X-ray absorbtiometry (DXA) is recommended for osteoporosis in men aged 70 years and older but supportive data is limited (12,13). Male osteoporosis is becoming an increasingly common condition with subsequent mortality and mortality (14).…”

“…In a prospective study conducted in Denmark, 585 males aged 60–74 years in the general population were referred to assess BMD, of which the prevalence of OP diagnosed by BMD increased from 10.2 to 14.8 % when the vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) was added to the classification [ 25 ]. Another study focused on Danish females also reported an increase in the number of patients with OP by 9.79 % when VFA and BMD were applied simultaneously [ 26 ]. A survey from northern India showed that the prevalence of VF in healthy community-dwelling men was 24.5 % in the 60–70 year age group and 38.4 % in the 71–80 year age group [ 27 ].…”

“…However, a slightly higher prevalence of morphometric VFs has been reported in men (18.8%) compared with women (17.1%) in India, 6 and a recent study reported a prevalence of 29.5% in Indian men. 27 In the latter study, the use of lateral vertebral assessment on DXA rather than lateral radiographs may have overestimated VF. Alternatively, Indian men may be at higher risk of VFs, which was not seen in our study.…”
