Hello Jess05,   

There are 1.5 million new cases of osteoporosis diagnosed each year.


Excerpt from The Harvard Crimson:

?According to data compiled by HCCP, 900,000 people in the United
States die from heart disease and stroke each year. An additional
550,000 succumb to cancer, and 70,000 are killed by diabetes. There
are also 1.5 million new cases of osteoporosis diagnosed each year.?
