The National Osteoperosis Foundation estimates that 10 million Americans have osteoporosis, and 34 million more have low bone mass. Osteoporosis is the thinning of your bones that can lead to fractures. It is most common in post-menopausal women, but men are not immune. Men get osteoporosis at one-fifth the rate of women. Since the vast majority of women are at risk of osteoporosis, that means there are a lot of men out there with it as well.

Type 2 diabetes, however, can be prevented.
