More female participants in the Registry reported iron deficiency anemia (28% versus 8%), depression (18% versus 9%), and anxiety (18% versus 11%) than male participants (Figure 8A).

| Iron deficiency anemia | 152 | 28% | 211 | 8% |

Fifty-six percent of participants ages 45 and older reported a history of bone fractures. A history of anxiety or depression was higher in the 45-64 year age group compared to other age groups. Over 90% of hypertension was reported by the older age groups. Iron deficiency anemia was similarly reported across age groups (Figure 8B).
