Methods- Objective was to examine risk factors for BMD and bone loss in healthy men age ≥50 yrs
- A systematic search in MEDLINE, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, DARE, CENTRAL, CINAHL and Embase, Health STAR
- 299/642 screened articles required a full review, and 25 remained in the final assessment
- Consistent risk factors for low BMD/bone loss were: advancing age, smoking, and low weight/weight loss
