The prevalence of hip fractures, a condition related to osteopenia and osteoporosis, increased during the latter half of the 20th century but has since leveled off or decreased in most markets. The current combined prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis is estimated at approximately 55% among people aged 50 and older and the total number of cases is expected to grow over the next decade.

The prevalence of hip fractures, a condition related to osteopenia and osteoporosis,
increased during the latter half of the 20th century but has since leveled off or decreased in
most markets. The current combined prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis is
estimated at approximately 55% among people aged 50 and older and the total number of
cases is expected to grow over the next decade.
Features and benefits
Gain insight to market potential, including a robust 10-year epidemiology forecast of
osteopenia and osteoporosis total prevalent cases.
Understand the key epidemiologic risk factors associated with osteopenia, osteoporosis, and
severe osteoporosis.
Highlights
During 2010, Datamonitor estimates that 117.9, 15.0, and 4.3 million total prevalent cases
of osteopenia, osteoporosis, and severe osteoporosis, respectively, existed in the seven
major markets (the US, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK).
Between 2010 and 2020, Datamonitor forecasts osteopenia, osteoporosis, and severe
osteoporosis total prevalent cases in the seven major markets to increase by 14%, 17%,
and 24%, resulting in 134.8 million, 17.5 million, and 5.3 million total prevalent cases in
2020, respectively.
Datamonitor estimates that in 2010, most total prevalent osteopenia, osteoporosis, and
severe osteoporosis cases were in women (71.8 million or 61% of all cases; 12.4 million or
82% of all cases, and 3.75 million or 88% of all cases, respectively).
