* : Osteoporosis affects approximately 1.4 million Canadians, mainly postmenopausal women and the elderly (142). Osteoporosis affects 1 in 4 women and more than 1 in 8 men over the age of 50 years, with 1 in 4 men and women having evidence of a vertebral fracture (142,167).
About one and half million Canadians, mostly postmenopausal and elderly are suffering from osteoporosis. 25% of women and 12.5% of men of more than 50 years old experience degrees of vertebral fractures. It is assumed that total amount of hip fractures are 30,000 occurrence, annually; which it to grow to quadruple measure until 2030. <ref name="pmid22398854">{{cite journal |vauthors=Tarride JE, Hopkins RB, Leslie WD, Morin S, Adachi JD, Papaioannou A, Bessette L, Brown JP, Goeree R |title=The burden of illness of osteoporosis in Canada |journal=Osteoporos Int |volume=23 |issue=11 |pages=2591–600 |year=2012 |pmid=22398854 |pmc=3483095 |doi=10.1007/s00198-012-1931-z |url=}}</ref>
* Canada: Almost 30,000 hip fractures occur each year (142). By the year 2030, the number of hip fractures is expected to quadruple (165,166).

* USA: By the year 2010, it is estimated that more than 52 million women and men in this same age category will be affected and, if current trends continue, the figure will climb to more than 61 million by 2020 (241).
 
* USA: In 2002, it is estimated that more than 10 million people already have osteoporosis. Approximately eighty percent of these people are women. This figure will rise to almost 12 million individuals by 2010 and to approximately 14 million by 2020 if additional efforts are not made to stem this disease, which may be largely prevented with lifestyle considerations and treatment when appropriate (241).

* From 1990 to projections in 2050 the number of hip fractures for women and men aged 50-64 in Latin America will increase by 400%. For age groups older than 65 the increase will be a staggering 700% (24).
It is estimated that in a period of 60 years, from 1990 to 2050, Latin America are experiencing a 5 times increase in hip fracture, in men and women between 50 to 64 years of age. Surprisingly, it will be 8 times for age of more than 65 years.<ref name="pmid1421796">{{cite journal |vauthors=Cooper C, Campion G, Melton LJ |title=Hip fractures in the elderly: a world-wide projection |journal=Osteoporos Int |volume=2 |issue=6 |pages=285–9 |year=1992 |pmid=1421796 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
* Latin Americans will suffer an estimated 655,648 hip fractures in 2050, at an estimated direct cost of $13 billion (143). The mortality rates in the year following a hip fracture are 23-30% and are higher in men compared to women (235,236).
 
* The prevalence of vertebral osteopenia in women 50 years and older has been reported at 45.5-49.7% and vertebral osteoporosis at at 12.1-17.6%; while the prevalence of femoral neck osteopenia has been reported at 46-57.2% and femoral neck osteoporosis at 7.9-22% (235).

* In a study of five Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Puerto Rico), the prevalence of vertebral fractures in women over 50 years of age was about 15%, with 7% occuring within the 50-60 years old age group and increasing to 28% for those greater than 80 years old (186).
 
* '''Argentina''': The prevalence in women over 50 years old is 50% for osteopenia and 25% for osteoporosis (237). It is projected that by 2050, 5.24 million and 2.62 million women will have osteopenia and osteoporosis, respectively (238).

By 2050, there will be >63,000 hip fractures in women and >13,000 in men (239). The prevalence of vertebral fractures in these women is 16.2% (186). Hospitalization costs of hip and vertebral fractures exceed 190 million USD per year (239).
 
* '''Brazil''': 10 million people, approximately one person in every 17, has osteoporosis (144). The lifetime prevalence of fractures has been found to be 37.5% among men and 21% among women with proportions among white, mixed and black subjects at about 29%, 31% and 22%, respectively (187).

* '''Brazil''': It is estimated that just 1 in 3 patients with hip fractures are diagnosed as having osteoporosis and of those, only 1 in 5 receive any kind of treatment (192).
 
* '''Brazil''': The economic burden of osteoporosis hip fractures to private health plan companies in Brazil is estimated in the region of $6 million (191).
'''Argentina'''
* '''Chile''': In 1985, a large clinical trial of women older than 50 indicated that 46% had osteopenia and 22% had osteoporosis (145).

Half of the over 50 years women suffer from osteopenia and one fourth of them involved in osteoporosis. It is estimated to be 5.24 million osteopenic and 2.62 million osteoporotic women in 2050. Population of above 50 years old are encountering 90 hip fractures a day (34,000 per year). It will be more than 63,000 one in women and more than 13,000 in men, by 2050.

=== Middle East and Africa ===
* Despite ample sunshine, the Middle East and Africa register the highest rates of rickets worldwide. Low levels of vitamin D are prevalent throughout the region (247).
Vitamin D deficiency is really prevalent in this region, despite vast majority of day hours sun there. The rate of death after osteoporotic fracture in the area is 2-3 times of Western societies. The major reason for the issue is lack of utilities, less than one DXA scan for 1 million people in country of Morocco.<ref name="pmid21839659">{{cite journal |vauthors=Baddoura R, Hoteit M, El-Hajj Fuleihan G |title=Osteoporotic fractures, DXA, and fracture risk assessment: meeting future challenges in the Eastern Mediterranean Region |journal=J Clin Densitom |volume=14 |issue=4 |pages=384–94 |year=2011 |pmid=21839659 |doi=10.1016/j.jocd.2011.03.009 |url=}}</ref>
* Mortality rates post-hip fracture may be higher in this region than those reported from western populations. While such rates vary between 25-30% in western populations, they are 2-3 fold higher in populations from the Middle East and Africa region (248).
 
* There are extremely limited numbers of DXA machines available in this region.  In Morocco, there are only 0.6 DXA machines per 1 million people (247).
'''Egypt'''

=== Asia ===
=== Asia ===
* It is projected that more than about 50% of all osteoporotic hip fractures will occur in Asia by the year 2050 (7,24)
In 2050, more than half of the whole hip fractures of the world would be from Asia. The main reason is improving the utilities and developing the medical services availability; currently, more than half of the population of China are living in rural area, managing fractures conservatively at home and not seeking any medical services. On the other hand major facilities, like densitometers, will become more accessible for everyone.<ref name="pmid9425497">{{cite journal |vauthors=Gullberg B, Johnell O, Kanis JA |title=World-wide projections for hip fracture |journal=Osteoporos Int |volume=7 |issue=5 |pages=407–13 |year=1997 |pmid=9425497 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
* Osteoporosis is greatly underdiagnosed and undertreated in Asia, even in the most high risk patients who have already fractured. The problem is particularly acute in rural areas. In the most populous countries like China and India, the majority of the population lives in rural areas (60% in China), where hip fractures are often treated conservatively at home instead of by surgical treatment in hospitals (221).
 
* DXA technology is relatively expensive and is not widely available in most developing Asian countries, especially in rural areas. For example, in 2008 Indonesia had a total of only 34 DXA machines, half of them in Jakarta, for a population of ca. 237 million (0.001 per 10,000 population). Like in many Asian countries, this falls far below the recommended number for Europe, of 0.11 per 10,000 (221).
'''China'''
* Nearly all Asian countries fall far below the FAO/WHO recommendations for calcium intake of between 1000 and 1300 mg/day. The median dietary calcium intake for the adult Asian population is approximately 450 mg/day, with a potential detrimental impact on bone health in the region (221).
* Osteoporosis affects almost 70 million Chinese over the age of 50 and causes some 687,000 hip fractures in China each year (223). From 1988 to 1992, the incidence of hip fractures in Beijing increased by 34% in women and 33% in men (151). There is a higher incidence of hip fractures in men than in women in China (151,152,153).
* Studies carried out across different countries in South and South East Asia showed, with few exceptions, widespread prevalence of vitaminosis D (vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency), in both sexes and all age groups of the population (222).
* The overall prevalence of osteoporosis in mainland China might be approximately 7% among adults, 10-20% in urban areas, 22.5% among men aged 50 years or more, and 50.1% among women aged 50 years or more (231).
* '''China''': Osteoporosis affects almost 70 million Chinese over the age of 50 and causes some 687,000 hip fractures in China each year (223). From 1988 to 1992, the incidence of hip fractures in Beijing increased by 34% in women and 33% in men (151). There is a higher incidence of hip fractures in men than in women in China (151,152,153).
* The average direct cost of a hip fracture in 2007 was 3603 USD and statistics from different cities indicate that the cost of hip fracture has been increasing at a rate of 6% per year. In 2006 China spent ca. 1.5 billion USD treating hip fracture. It is estimated that this will rise to 12.5 billion USD in 2020 and by 2050 to more than 264.7 billion USD (224,225,226,227,228,229).

Cost-Effectiveness of Therapy

  • In 1984, femoral fracture, the main complication of osteoporosis costed about ₤48 million per year, in England and Wales.[1]
  • In 1987, osteoporosis was the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorder in North America. 15-20 million adults were affected, involves 1.3 million fractures; led to annual cost of $3.8 billion for treatment. The estimated 267000 femoral neck fractures, in 1980, caused costs of $1.3 billion just for acute management. The average hospital stays were 21 days.[2]

Osteoporosis - Incidence and burden

  • Regarding that osteoporosis is the main cause of 8.9 million fractures in a year, whole over the world, it can be concluded that osteoporosis leads to one fracture in every 3 seconds.[3]
  • The estimated women population under the burden of osteoporosis influence is about 200 million, worldwide; two third of them 90, two fifth of them 80, one fifth of them 70, and one tenth of them 60 years old.
  • The total share of Europe, USA, and Japan in osteoporosis is about 75 million people.[4]
  • Women have rate of fracture in forearm, humerus, hip, and spine as 80%, 75%, 70%, and 58%, respectively. However, women encounter the fractures 1.6 times more than men, total of 61% of osteoporotic fractures.[3]
  • It is estimated than in 2050, the rate of hip fracture will increase 310% and 240% in male and females, respectively, in contrast with 1990.[5]
  • When the lifetime risks of fractures in hip, forearm, and vertebrae become clinically interpreted, it will equal to 40%, that is the same as cardiovascular events.[6]
  • In Europe the social and economical effects of osteoporosis is greater than that resulted from cancers (except lung cancer), and also higher than rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and cardiac disease due to hypertension.[3]
  • Women of more than 45 years old spend more days in hospital due to osteoporosis and its complications than any other disease, such as diabetes, myocardial infarction, and breast cancer.[7]
  • It is assumed that large percentage (almost 80%) of individuals with high risk of fracture and already history of at least one osteoporotic fracture, are neither identified nor treated.[8]
  • International osteoporosis foundation (IOF) study in 11 countries, showed that lack of oteoporosis suitable diagnosis and treatment were because of some factors, including denial of personal risk by postmenopausal women, lack of dialogue about osteoporosis with their doctor, and restricted access to diagnosis and treatment before the first fracture.[9]

Europe

  • In most of the European countries, bone mineral density (BMD) measurements are not so utilized; it is assumed to be due densitometers limited availability, limited technicians in charge of performing scans, low attitude and insight in using the test, and limited or nonexistent reimbursement.[10]
  • WHO estimation of the osteoporosis population in Europe is 22 million females and 5.5 million males in 2010 (total of 27.5 million); which is going to rise about 23% until 2025 (total of 33.9 million). New fractures in the EU during 2010 was estimated at 3.5 million, including approximately 620,000 hip fractures, 520,000 vertebral fractures, 560,000 forearm fractures and 1,800,000 other fractures. The number of fractures in a year assumed to grow from 3.5 million in 2010 to 4.5 million in 2025, suggesting a 28% increase. 43,000 people have died in 2010 because of osteoporosis complications. It is assumed that osteoporotic fractures are the main reason of 26,300 life-year lost in Europe, in 2010.[11]
  • In Europe the whole cost of medical therapies for osteoporosis in 2010 was €37 billion, in which 66% was for acute fractures management, 29% was for long-term fracture outcome management, and 5% was for medical prevention. On the other hand, holistic burden of osteoporosis in Europe assumed to be loss of 1,180,000 life years (quality adjusted (QALY)), most of them because of prior osteoporotic fractures. Regarding that one QALY is equal value of 2xGDP, it is assumed that the total burden of osteoporosis become €60.4 billion, in 2010. Surprisingly, the QALY number will raise from 1.2 million in 2010 to about 1.4 million years in 2025, with 20% increase.[11]

Denmark

From 1987-1997, in a 10-year period, the rate of osteoporosis increased by 56%; among which 41% was in women and 104% was in men, more than 50 years old.[13]

Finland

Hip fracture rate increased by 70% from 1992 to 2002, in a 10-year period.[14]

Georgia

It is assumed that only one patient with hip fracture out of four is seeking hospital care.[15]

Germany

A study of fracture rate showed that 45% of men and 31% of women between 25 to 74 years old experience fracture; while 42% of men and 40% of women between 65 to 74 years old encounter fractures.[16]

Greece

Hip fracture rate was increased by 7.6% from 1977 until 1992, in a five year period.[17]

Kazakhstan

Due to some various factors, more than half of the people with hip fracture are not hospitalized. Whereas more than 70% are not admitted for hip surgery.[18]

Romania

The whole prevalence of postmenopausal osteoporosis is 11.5%. It is assumed that in Romanian women more than 55 years old, one out of three people involved in osteoporosis or osteopenia.[18]

Russia

14 million people (about 10%) are involved in osteoporosis, while 20 million suffer from osteopenia; however, Russia has 34 million high fracture risk people. It is assumed that in some cities 45-52% of patients with a severe osteoporotic fracture have not suitable hospitalization or surgery until 1 year. Among those patients with hip fracture who could survive, only about 10% would have previous daily activity level.[18]

Slovenia

General hip fracture rate has been increased by 40% from 1998 to 2005, a seven year period.[18]

Spain

The increase rate of new hip fracture case was 54% from 1998 to 2002, a 14-year period. However, the women (64%) were more increased than men (19%).[19]

The fracture was leading to demise of 13% of patients after 3 months, and 38% of them after 24 months. Furthermore, patients suffered from vertebral fracture would experienced loosing functionality (45%) or disability (50%).

Sweden

23% of women and 11% of men over 50 years of age are probable to involved in osteoporotic fracture. Also, 15% of women and 8% of men have the risk of vertebral fractures. Any other oteoporotic fractures during lifetime are 46% in women and 22% in men.[20] The total death rate resulting from hip fractures is the same as breast cancer deaths.[21]

Switzerland

It is predicted that with maintaining the current conditions of osteoporotic prevention and treatment, in a 20 years period from 2000, the osteoporotic fracture rates of hip, vertebrae, and wrist grow by 33%, 27%, and 19%, respectively.[22]

It is assumed that annual economic burden of osteoporosis is commonly greater than myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular strokes, and also breast cancer; slightly less than chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Taking only women, the burden become more than all of the diseases.[23]

Ukraine

7 million womens (28% of all women) are involved in bone mass loss and in risk of osteoporosis. Most of the Ukrainians experiencing vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency.[18]

UK

Half of women and one-fifth of men would have fracture when pass 50 years of age.[24]

North America

Canada

About one and half million Canadians, mostly postmenopausal and elderly are suffering from osteoporosis. 25% of women and 12.5% of men of more than 50 years old experience degrees of vertebral fractures. It is assumed that total amount of hip fractures are 30,000 occurrence, annually; which it to grow to quadruple measure until 2030. [25]

USA

44 million people of more than 50 years old in US are suffering from osteoporosis, more than half of over 50 years people. Remaining the current conditions and utilities, it is estimated that more than 61 million people in 2020 will involved in osteoporosis. Women are 80% of the osteoporotic population.[26]

Latin America

It is estimated that in a period of 60 years, from 1990 to 2050, Latin America are experiencing a 5 times increase in hip fracture, in men and women between 50 to 64 years of age. Surprisingly, it will be 8 times for age of more than 65 years.[27]

Regarding 655,648 hip fractures in 2050, it will directly cost about $13 billion.[28]

23% to 30% of the patients with hip fracture will die in the first year after fracture, more in men compared to women.[29]

Vertebral fractures prevalence in women more than 50 years of age is 15%, in which 7% is among 50-60 years and 28% is among more than 80 years women.[30]

Argentina

Half of the over 50 years women suffer from osteopenia and one fourth of them involved in osteoporosis. It is estimated to be 5.24 million osteopenic and 2.62 million osteoporotic women in 2050. Population of above 50 years old are encountering 90 hip fractures a day (34,000 per year). It will be more than 63,000 one in women and more than 13,000 in men, by 2050. Vertebral fracture rate in postmenopausal women is 16.2%. Total burden of both hip and vertebral osteoporotic fractures, including hospitalization costs, is more than $190 million per each year.[31]

Brazil

One person in every 17 people, totally about 10 million people are suffering from osteoporosis. 37.5% of men and 21% of women would have osteoporotic fracture during life.[32] One person in every 3 patients encountering hip fracture would have osteoporosis, however, one out of five will receive treatment.[33] The total economic burden of osteoporotic fracture is assumed to be $6 million.[34]

Chile

46% of women of more than 50 years of age were osteopenic and 22% were osteoporotic, in 1985.

Mexico

25% of people has lowered bone mineral density (BMD), making them prone to hip fracture (8.5% males and 4% females). The whole economic burden of hip fracture in 2006 was $97 million.[35]

Venezuela

5.5% of women and 1.5% men of 50 years of age would have hip fracture. For other sites of fractures the percentages are 13.6% and 3.5% for women and men, respectively. It is assumed that 9.6 hip fracture a day in 1995, will grow to 67 fractures a day in 2030. After 70 years of age only one out of ten people may have normal bone mineral density.[36]

Middle East and Africa

Vitamin D deficiency is really prevalent in this region, despite vast majority of day hours sun there. The rate of death after osteoporotic fracture in the area is 2-3 times of Western societies. The major reason for the issue is lack of utilities, less than one DXA scan for 1 million people in country of Morocco.[37]

Egypt

Among postmenopausal women 53.9% have osteopenia and 28.4 have osteoporosis.[38]

Iran

In 2010, the hip fracture rate was 50,000, and will become 62,000 in 2020. The hip fracture rate of Iran is 0.85% of worldwide and 12.4% of Middle east whole burden.[39]

Jordan

Hip fractures are growing from 1008 per year in 2008 to four times of the original size in 2050.[18]

Lebanon

Surprisingly, the age and BMD measures in patients with hip fractures are different from other countries, they are younger and osteopenic instead of old and osteoporotic.[40]

Saudi Arabia

Total cost of managing femoral fracture is $1.14 billion.[41]

Syria

From approximately 15,000 vertebral osteoporotic fractures per year, only one-fifth seeking medical services.[18]

Turkey

It is assumed that 24,000 hip fracture in male and female above 50 years of age will become 36,000 in 2020.[42]

Asia

In 2050, more than half of the whole hip fractures of the world would be from Asia. The main reason is improving the utilities and developing the medical services availability; currently, more than half of the population of China are living in rural area, managing fractures conservatively at home and not seeking any medical services. On the other hand major facilities, like densitometers, will become more accessible for everyone.[43]

China

  • Osteoporosis affects almost 70 million Chinese over the age of 50 and causes some 687,000 hip fractures in China each year (223). From 1988 to 1992, the incidence of hip fractures in Beijing increased by 34% in women and 33% in men (151). There is a higher incidence of hip fractures in men than in women in China (151,152,153).
  • The overall prevalence of osteoporosis in mainland China might be approximately 7% among adults, 10-20% in urban areas, 22.5% among men aged 50 years or more, and 50.1% among women aged 50 years or more (231).
  • The average direct cost of a hip fracture in 2007 was 3603 USD and statistics from different cities indicate that the cost of hip fracture has been increasing at a rate of 6% per year. In 2006 China spent ca. 1.5 billion USD treating hip fracture. It is estimated that this will rise to 12.5 billion USD in 2020 and by 2050 to more than 264.7 billion USD (224,225,226,227,228,229).
  • Osteoporosis prevention and awareness is largely restricted to urban areas of China and DXA machines are only available in the urban centers. In 2008 there were only 450 DXA machines in China for a population of ca. 1.3 billion (223).
  • The average length of hospital stay (19-24 nights) for a hip fracture exceeds that for treating breast cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer or heart disease (223).

Hong Kong, China

  • Epidemiological studies showed that hip fracture incidence had increased by 300% from the 1960s to 1990s, and has stabilized from 2001-2006. The reasons are not clear, but may possibly be due to a number of factors including improved availability of medical intervention, increases in BMI, use of HRT, and improved falls prevention strategies (155,221).
  • Despite the stabilization of hip fracture rates, fractures remain a major burden on health services and society. The acute hospital care cost of hip fractures amounted to 1% of the total annual hospital budget, or 17 million USD for a population of 6 million (154).
  • The prevalence of vertebral fractures is estimated at 30% in women and 17% in men between the ages of 70-79 years of age. These rates are comparable to those in American Caucasians (148,149,156).

Chinese Taipei

  • The prevalence of osteoporosis in 1996-2001 among those ages 50 years and older was 1.6% in men and 11.4% in women (232). A study showed a high incidence rate of hip fractures, close to those of Western countries, and substantially higher than the rates in Beijing (3-5 times) and Hong Kong (1-2 times), except after age 85 (230). During 1996-2002, the incidence of hip fractures in the 65 years and older population increased by 30%, with rates greater in males (36%) than females (22%) (233).

India

  • Expert groups peg the number of osteoporosis patients at approximately 26 million (2003 figures) with the numbers projected to increase to 36 million by 2013 (157).
  • In a study among Indian women aged 30-60 years from low income groups, BMD at all the skeletal sites were much lower than values reported from developed countries, with a high prevalence of osteopenia (52%) and osteoporosis (29%) thought to be due to inadequate nutrition (193).

Japan

  • The prevalence of osteporosis in the Japanese female population aged 50-79 years has been estimated to be about 35% at the spine and 9.5% at the hip (150).
  • New hip fractures increased 1.7-fold during 1987-1997 (158).
  • The total number of hip fractures is forecast to be 153,000 per year in 2010 and 238,000 in 2030 (202).

Korea

  • The occurrence of hip fractures increased about 4-fold over 10 years (1991-2001) (159).
  • The number of hip fractures after 75 years of age was 4.3 per 1000 in women and 2.97 per thousand in men (160).

Pakistan

  • Osteoporosis seems to be a significant problem due to major nutritional issues as well as limited and underutilised diagnostic facilities (221).

Singapore

  • The incidences of hip fracture in 1998 have gone up 5 times in women and 1.5 times in men compared to those observed in the 1960s (161). During 1991-1998, the incidence of hip fracture increased by 0.7% annually in men and by 1.2% annually in women (234).

Oceania

Australia

  • 2.2 million Australians are affected by osteoporosis (163). About 11% of men and 27% of women aged 60 years or more are osteoporotic, and 42% of men and 51% of women are osteopenic (162).
  • The lifetime risk of osteoporotic fracture after 50 years of age: 42% in women, 27% in men (163).
  • There are 20,000 hip fractures per year in Australia (increasing by 40% each decade) (163).
  • Total costs relating to osteoporosis are $7.4 billion per year of which $1.9 billion are direct costs (163).

New Zealand

  • There were an estimated 84,000 osteoporotic fractures in 2007, with 60% of these occurring in women. Hip fractures were estimated to account for 5% of all fractures (138).
  • The total cost of osteoporosis is estimated to be over $1.15 billion per year (138).
  • It is estimated that both the number of osteoporotic fractures and the cost of healthcare associated with osteoporosis will increase by over 30% between 2007-2020 (138).
