The presentation "Osteoporosis in Men: 2024 Update" by Robert A. Adler, MD, addresses the often overlooked topic of osteoporosis in men. It highlights the unique aspects of bone aging and fracture risk in men, the higher mortality rates following fractures compared to women, and the critical need for effective screening and treatment strategies. The session reviews the differences in bone density changes between men and women, the impact of testosterone and aging, and evidence based recommendations for managing osteoporosis in men, including the use of pharmacologic therapies.
