I came across a link that readers may find interesting for the 2008 Report Card on Osteoporosis Care produced by Osteoporosis Canada. Page 20 of the report summarizes the costs to both the health care system and the individual in addition to taking note of the effects of Osteoporosis on men. Download the report in pdf format here: http://www.osteoporosis.ca/multimedia/images/english/home/2008NationalReportCard_Eng.pdf
