That is interesting. I've often wondered about the differences between men and women when it comes to osteoporosis.
Of course, he was never able to tell me how this happened to begin with, but I suppose it can be a mysterious disease. I know my vitamin D was once below normal, but that's all.

I am a nurse practitioner and I can tell you that I have treated many men with osteoporosis. It is likely more common in women but men do get it. Also, unfortunately there is usually no reason to explain why we get it; it is often hereditary or related to many factors (diet, lifestyle, hormones) so the cause is usually not identifiable.
