Prostate cancer increases hip fracture risk by eight times in 50 to 65 year-olds
Men with prostate cancer are four times more likely to suffer a hip fracture and two times more likely to suffer any kind of fracture. The hip fracture risk rises to eight times in men aged 50-65. Prostate cancer is now a leading cause of male deaths in the US and Europe. The latest study, in BJU International, shows that the fracture risk appears shortly after diagnosis and is still pronounced in long-term survivors.
