Female Gynecologic History And Physical (H&P) Practice Test

True or false: most fractures occur in people who do NOT have osteoporosis.

False True Not sure Only in men

Correct Answer:

True

Explanation:

Fracture risk is shaped by bone strength and the likelihood of a fall or trauma. Osteoporosis clearly raises the chance of a fracture from even minor stress, but when you look at the whole population, far more people do not have osteoporosis than do. That means more fractures occur in individuals with normal or non-osteoporotic bone density simply because they are far more numerous. So, while osteoporosis increases individual risk, the absolute number of fractures is higher among those without osteoporosis, making the statement true.
