It affects an estimated 200 million people worldwide, with prevalence increasing with age, especially in women over 80 where two-thirds are affected. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like nutrition, exercise, and fall prevention, as well as oral or intravenous medications to prevent and treat postmenopausal osteoporosis.
