Although it's often thought of as a women's disease, osteoporosis affects men too.

Symptoms In the early stages of bone loss, you usually have no pain or other symptoms. But once bones have been weakened by osteoporosis, you may have osteoporosis signs and symptoms that include: Back pain, which can be severe, as a result of a fractured or collapsed vertebra Loss of height over time A stooped posture Fracture of the vertebra, wrist, hip or other bone.

A new study has claimed that women who exercised for at least 150 minutes a week are less likely to develop endometrial cancer, regardless of whether they are overweight or not. Hannah Arem, a doctoral student at Yale School of Public  Health , and colleagues examined the data collected from a case-control study led by associate professor Herbert Yu. The study compared 668 women with endometrial cancer to 665 women of the same age who did not have the  disease .  “This study is consistent with other studies that strongly support the association between physical activity and lower risk of endometrial  cancer ,” said Arem.  Those who exercised for 150 minutes a week or more had a 34 percent reduced risk of endometrial cancer compared with those women who were inactive.  This association was more pronounced among active women with a body mass index (BMI) less than 25, or underweight women, where the reduction in risk was 73 percent compared with inactive w...
