Osteoporosis in Korean men over 40 years: Prevalence and risk factors.
Observational study in Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is increasingly being recognized as a significant health concern in men. However, research on male osteoporosis in Korea remains limited. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and factors influencing osteoporosis in Korean men aged ≥40 years. Secondary analysis utilized data from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study urban cohort (2004-2013), focusing on 58,976 men aged ≥40 years. Variables included sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, medical history, anthropometric measurements, biometric parameters, and dietary habits. Statistical analyses included analysis of variance, Chi-square tests, and multinomial logistic regression. The prevalence of osteoporosis was 0.6% among the male participants. Risk factors significantly associated with osteoporosis included advanced age (50-59 years: odds ratio (OR) = 1.899; ≥60 years: OR = 3.119), chronic diseases including angina/myocardial infarction (OR = 2.197), fatty liver (OR = 2.297), gallstones/cholecystitis (OR = 2.176), and arthritis (OR = 8.069), poor self-rated health (OR = 3.598), and irregular meal patterns (OR = 2.884). Protective factors included normal or overweight body mass index compared with underweight, moderate total cholesterol levels (140-200 mg/dL: OR = 0.401), and moderate coffee consumption (3-4 times/day: OR = 0.555). Age, chronic diseases, poor self-rated health, and irregular dietary habits significantly increase osteoporosis risk in Korean men. Comprehensive health management strategies focusing on these factors are essential for effective osteoporosis prevention in this population.
