Objective: For years, osteoporosis has been recognized as a disease affecting women. However, in recent years, it has been found that male osteoporosis is not as rare as it was thought to be, and fractures in men are an important public health problem. Therefore, we aimed to present the distribution of male osteoporosis patients according to their ages and diagnosis.
