The International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) reported that among women over 50, the incidence of broken bones following a minor fall was highest in Japan (73.3%) among five countries. Furthermore, 45% of women did not receive the necessary anti-osteoporosis treatment to prevent potentially life-threatening fractures.

世界骨粗鬆症デーに向けて実施されたブラジル、日本、韓国、スペイン、イギリスの60歳以上の女性を対象にした調査で（Facebookにて）、7,139件の回答を得、調査に参加した女性のほぼ半数（43%）が、50歳以降に軽い転倒や衝突によって骨折を経験したと報告している。

軽い転倒や衝突による骨折の割合は、日本（73.3%）が最も高く、次いでイギリス（60.9%）。骨を折っていないと回答した57.16%の中で、平均31.3%が医師と骨の健康や骨粗鬆症について話し合ったことがないと述べた。これはイギリス（51.1%）で最も高く、次いで日本とスペイン（それぞれ31.3%）だった。
