I read an article ( http://www.fosamaxfemurfracturelawsuit.com/up... ) recently that reports about younger Asian women (under Fosamax medication) have greater risk of getting atypical femur fracture.
I then later learned that a bisphosphonates drug Fosamax is linked to atypical femur fracture. Check this link for more info: http://www.fosamaxfemurfracturelawsuit.com/si...

While it is true that women are more prone to osteoporosis then men, I am unsure if race is also taken into account as well. Many Fosamax Lawsuit plaintiffs are also women complaining that they have been injured because of the drug.

There is evidence to suggest that Asian women are one of the demographics more prone to osteoporosis.

It is true in various research studies that Asian women are one of the unfortunate demographics that are prone to osteoporosis and by extension femure fractures. http://www.fosamaxclassactionlawsuit.com/femu...

The truth is that Asian women are one of the most prone to developing osteoporosis. If age is a factor then older Asian women are more prone to developing osteoporosis than younger ones. What supports this phenomenon is the fact there is a cultural obsession in Asian women to avoid sun exposure to maintain whitened skin which could prove to be risky for their bones in the long run. http://www.fosamaxfemurfracturelawsuit.com
