The correct answer is 6.

When we compare male and female, the prevalence of osteoporosis and the rate of fractures are much higher in postmenopausal women than in men of the same age. Because of that, this condition is often called “woman’s disease”. One of the explications is that women have smaller and thinner bones than men. Also, estrogen decreases when women reach menopause, which can cause bone loss.
