Prevalence of Osteoporosis by Race and Ethnicity, age 50+

I was researching osteoporosis and extracted data for prevalence of osteoporosis by race and ethnicity for people aged 50+.

Statistics were taken from the National Osteoporosis foundation (NOF). Data visualization being used is via Many-Eyes.com. The chart below shows who are affected and who are at greatest risk. When compared with other ethnic/racial groups, risk appears to be increasing most rapidly among Hispanic women.
