Paget's Disease of Bone
What is Paget's Disease of Bone?
Although it is the second most common bone disease after
osteoporosis, Paget's disease is still uncommon. According to
Bone Health and Osteoporosis: A Report of the Surgeon
General, an estimated 1 million people in the U.S. have Paget's
disease, or about 1.3 people per 100 men and women age 45-74. The
disease is more common in older people and those of Northern
European heritage. Men are more likely than women to have the
disease.
