Osteoporosis Prevention & Treatment from VasuStore.com

[Vishnu]

We are introducing the subject osteoporosis and for that we are
putting forward to you some of the general information regarding the
osteoporosis. “Osteo” means bone. Osteoporosis is a disease
characterized by low bone mass and loss of bone tissue that may lead
to weak and fragile bones. If you have osteoporosis, you have an
increased risk for fractured bones (broken bones), particularly in the
hip, spine, and wrist because of the skeleton weakens. Osteoporosis is
often considered to be a condition that frail elderly women develop.
The prevalence of osteoporosis in India, as in the west, osteoporosis
fractures are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly.
Based on 2001 census, approximately 163 million Indians are above the
age of 50; this number is expected to increase to 230 million by 2015.
Osteoporosis Symptoms:
Osteoporosis can be present without any symptoms for decades because
osteoporosis doesn't cause symptoms until bone fracture. Moreover,
some osteoporotic fractures may escape detection for years when they
do not cause symptoms. Therefore, patients may not be aware of their
osteoporosis until they suffer a painful fracture. The symptoms
associated with osteoporosis are as follow;
A. In early stages of bone loss: Painless
B. Once the bone gets weak due to osteoporosis,
i. Back pain, increase in case of fractured or collapsed vertebra
ii. Loss of height over time, with an accompanying stooped posture
iii. Fracture of the vertebrae, wrists, hips or other bones

Risk Factors:
Certain risk factors are linked to the development of osteoporosis and
contribute to an individual’s likelihood of developing the disease.
Many people with osteoporosis have several risk factors, but others
who develop the disease have no known risk factors. Some risk factors
cannot be changed, but you can change others.

Risk factors you cannot change:
• Gender. Your chances of developing osteoporosis are greater if you
are a woman. Women have less bone tissue and lose bone faster than men
because of the changes that happen with menopause.
• Age. The older you are, the greater your risk of osteoporosis. Your
bones become thinner and weaker as you age.
• Body size. Small, thin-boned women are at greater risk.
• Ethnicity. Caucasian and Asian women are at highest risk. African
American and Hispanic women have a lower but significant risk.
• Family history. Fracture risk may be due, in part, to heredity.
People whose parents have a history of fractures also seem to have
reduced bone mass and may be at risk for fractures.
Risk factors you can change:
• Sex hormones. Abnormal absence of menstrual periods (amenorrhea),
low estrogen level (menopause), and low testosterone level in men can
bring on osteoporosis.
• Anorexia nervosa. Characterized by an irrational fear of weight
gain, this eating disorder increases your risk for osteoporosis.
• Calcium and vitamin D intake. A lifetime diet low in calcium and
vitamin D makes you more prone to bone loss.
• Medication use. Long-term use of glucocorticoids and some
anticonvulsants can lead to loss of bone density and fractures.
• Lifestyle. An inactive lifestyle or extended bed rest tends to
weaken bones.
• Cigarette smoking. Smoking is bad for bones as well as the heart and
lungs.
• Alcohol intake. Excessive consumption of alcohol increases the risk
of bone loss and fractures.
How to prevent osteoporosis?
Calcium is one of the many minerals that you need to be healthy.
Calcium is very important to ensure strong, healthy bones and teeth.
It also helps muscles and nerves to work properly. Changing what you
eat and drink, good exercise and control on bad habits will help to
prevent osteoporosis. Some topics for the good health are describe as
follow:
1. Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake are necessary to develop and
preserve healthy bones throughout your life
2. Good sources of calcium- dairy products such as milk, cheese,
yogurt, green leafy vegetables, nuts especially almonds, and seafood
like fish
3. Vitamin D may be obtained from eggs, liver, or by spending 15
minutes in the early morning sun 2-3 times a week
4. 15-20 minutes walking daily helps stop further weakening of bones
5. Weight bearing exercise such as low impact aerobics, stair
climbing, running and swimming helps keep your bones strong
6. Muscle building exercise are not recommended for people with
osteoporosis
7. Cut back on cigarette smoking or excessive alcohol intake.
