| Abstract |
Osteoporosis has become an important health concern even in men. We aimed to analyze its prevalence and associated factors in Korean men. Low socioeconomic status, unhealthy lifestyle, and chronic kidney disease increased the risk. High-risk men even at young age need to evaluate bone mineral density, and proper interventions should be reinforced. Owing to an increase in the elderly population, osteoporosis and consequent fractures have become important health concerns even in men. We aimed to analyze the prevalence of osteoporosis in Korean men and identify risk factors associated with male osteoporosis. The study included 6104 men aged ≥ 30 years and who underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry between 2008 and 2011 in Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey. Sociodemographic status, lifestyle factors, and body composition were measured. We defined osteoporosis according to the WHO criteria using a T score of - 2.5 or less in men aged ≥ 50 years and a Z score of - 2.0 or less in men aged < 50 years. We analyzed the prevalence of osteoporosis and conducted multivariate logistic regression to evaluate the associated risk factors. Overall, 5.0% of all participants and 17.7% of participants aged ≥ 70 years had osteoporosis and showed rapid progression from the age of 60 years. Risk factors for osteoporosis in Korean men were old age, lower education status, lower household income, lack of physical activity, insufficient calcium intake, chronic kidney disease, underweight, insufficient nutrition, and sarcopenia. Additionally, young men aged 30-49 years with a history of cancer were at an increased risk of osteoporosis. Low socioeconomic status, unhealthy lifestyle, insufficient nutrition, and chronic kidney disease increased the risk of osteoporosis in Korean men. Men who have the abovementioned risk factors even at a young age need to undergo bone mineral density evaluation, and proper interventions should be reinforced to prevent and manage osteoporosis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 August 2018.
All research outputs
#18,647,094
of 23,100,534 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Osteoporosis
#455
of 648 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#256,383
of 333,688 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Osteoporosis
#11
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,100,534 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 648 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 333,688 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
