Abstract
Summary: Osteoporosis in men is an underdiagnosed and undertreated condition that leads to significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in the aging population. This consensus report provides tailored guidelines for diagnosing, preventing, and treating male osteoporosis in the Asia–Pacific region by integrating global best practices with regional adaptations. Purpose: To establish evidence-based, region-specific guidelines for the management of male osteoporosis in the Asia–Pacific region, addressing demographic and lifestyle factors. Methods: Expert feedback was gathered through premeeting reviews, consensus conferences, and collaborative discussions. A life-course approach was employed to align international best practices with Asia–Pacific-specific needs, emphasizing continuous monitoring and intervention from middle age onward. Results: The 12 consensus strategies systematically approach male osteoporosis management, addressing screening, diagnosis, treatment, and long-term follow-up. Recommendations include the assessment of fracture risk for men aged 50 years and above, use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) testing for men aged 70 years and above, lifestyle modifications, and pharmacological interventions such as bisphosphonates, denosumab, and anabolic agents for high-risk patients. Secondary causes of osteoporosis were highlighted, along with the establishment of fracture liaison services (FLSs) to improve long-term care. A life-course approach was proposed to optimize bone health throughout men’s lives. Conclusion: This consensus provides a comprehensive framework tailored to the Asia–Pacific region for diagnosing, preventing, and managing osteoporosis in men. By addressing region-specific challenges and promoting evidence-based interventions, the latest guidelines incorporating the consensus may depict the conceptual direction in reducing fracture risk and improving long-term bone health outcomes for osteoporosis in men.
