What is Osteoporosis?
Bone is a living tissue, that is constantly absorbed and replaced. Osteoporosis occurs when the creation of new bone does not keep up the with removal of
old bone
What Causes Osteoporosis?
• “The leading cause of Osteoporosis are a drop in estrogen in women at the time of menopause and a drop in testosterone in men. “
• Sedentary lifestyle• Vitamin D deficiency • Calcium deficiency • Eating disorders
Minor genetic components of Osteoporosis
• Mutation in genes that control bone mass and bone turnover
Pathology • No systems in the early
stages of this disease• No known causes of the
disease till fracture or signs of bone pain or tenderness
• Back pain caused by fractured or collapsed vertebra
• Stooped posture• Loss of height overtime
Epidemiology
• Osteoporosis affects men and women of all races.
• Especially in white and Asian women are at a higher risk due to menopause
• Affecting women over the age of 50 and men over age of 70
• Petites, and thin women are at a greater risk of developing this disease
• Caucasians and Asians are at increased risk of developing osteoporosis.
• African Americans have more dense bones than whites.
• Hip fractures occur about twice as frequently in white women as compared to black women.
Goals of osteoporosis treatments are to:
• Control pain from the disease
• Slow down or stop bone loss
• Prevent bone fracture with medicines that strengthen bone
• Minimize the risk of falls that might cause fractures
Lifestyle and Dietary Changes
Regular exercise reduced the likelihood of bone fractures• Weight bearing exercises that makes you work against
gravity while staying upright. Such as walking, jogging, dancing
• Resistant exercise – free weights weight• Nonimpact activities such as balance, functional, and
posture exercises also may benefit people with osteoporosis.
• Although these exercises don't build or maintain bone density, they may increase muscle strength and decrease the risk of falls and fractures.
How to stop unhealthy habits• Quit smoking• Limit alcohol intake
Dietary Changes• At least 1,200 mg per day of calcium • 800-1000 international units of vitamin
D • Vitamin D aids in absorption of calcium• A diet that provides proper amounts of
calcium, vitamin D, and protein• Will not stop bone loss, but supplies the body
with materials to form and maintain bones
