[Printer-friendly format] B ones go through a constant state of loss and regrowth. As a person ages, more bone loss than bone growth occurs. This can lead to a condition called osteoporosis. The bones then become thin and fragile and can fracture or break easily. This pamphlet explains: Risk factors of osteoporosis How it can be detected How you can help prevent it What Is Osteoporosis? Bone is made up of calcium and protein. There are two types of bone—compact bone and spongy bone. Each bone in the body contains some of each type. Compact bone looks solid and hard and is found on the outer part of bones. Spongy bone is filled with holes, just like a sponge, and is found on the inside of bones. The first signs of osteoporosis are seen in bones that have a lot of spongy bone, such as the spine, hip, and wrist. Once made, bone is always changing. Old bone is removed in a process called resorption, and new bone is formed in a process called formation. From childhood until age 30 years, bone is formed faster than it is broken down. The bones become large and more dense. After age 30 years, the process begins to reverse: bone is broken down faster than it is made. This process continues for the rest of your life. A small amount of bone loss after age 35 years is normal in all women and men. Most of the time, it does not cause any problems. However, too much bone loss can result in osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is a serious disease that leads to a downward spiral in physical health and quality of life, including losing the ability to walk, stand up, or dress, and can lead to premature death. 10 million Americans over the age of 50 have osteoporosis, the most common bone disease, while another 34 million are at risk for developing osteoporosis. And each year, roughly 1.5 million people suffer a bone fracture related to osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis, also called the "silent disease," is a common bone disease in which bones become thinner and more porous. Osteoporosis affects both men and women and occurs when the body fails to form new bone. During the course of your life, the body needs the minerals phosphate and calcium to build bones. If your dietary intake of these minerals is not sufficient or if the body does not absorb enough of the minerals from the diet, bone production and bone tissue will suffer resulting in brittle and fragile bones. These bones are then subject to fracture. You may have heard of osteoporosis referred to as the "silent disease" because it's a disease that occurs over the course of may years. The loss of bone mass does not occur overnight. It usually occurs gradually over an extended period of time. In fact, most people are not even aware that they have osteoporosis until they fracture a bone. And it's at that time that a person finds the disease is in its advance stages What are its symptoms?

49. The Calcium Information Resource This differs from osteoporosis, a common condition in which the bones are brittle and weak and fracture easily. Osteopenia is not a disease but is a marker http://www.calciuminfo.com/

Calcium is essential to maintaining total body health. Your body needs it every day not just to keep your bones and teeth strong over your lifetime, but to ensure proper functioning of muscles and nerves. It even helps your blood clot. Most Americans think they are getting enough calcium everyday, but, the fact is, they are not - they're calcium deficient. Calcium deficiency is usually due to an inadequate intake of calcium. When blood calcium levels drop too low, the vital mineral is "borrowed' from the bones. It is returned to the bones from calcium supplied through the diet. The average person loses 400 to 500mg of calcium per day. If an individual's diet is low in calcium, there may not be sufficient amounts of calcium available in the blood to be returned to the bones to maintain strong bones and total body health. Taking calcium regularly everyday is key to preventing and treating calcium deficiency. So how much daily calcium do you need? How much do you get? This website is a great resource to help you learn more about calcium, its importance to your health and how your needs change during different lifestages. More.

Original source: www.womenshealthchannel.com Original Date of Publication: 01 Apr 2001 Reviewed by: Stanley J. Swierzewski, III, M.D. Last Reviewed: 04 Dec 2007 Home Osteoporosis Overview Overview Osteoporosis is a progressive skeletal disease characterized by low bone density, bone fragility, and susceptibility to hip, spine, and wrist fractures. This condition develops without warning signs. Most people with osteoporosis do not realize they have the disease until a minor fall results in a broken hip, wrist, or vertebra. Bone Remodeling Calcium, phosphate, and collagen are the primary components of bone. Bone tissue is constantly changing. Cells called osteoclasts break down and remove bone tissue in a process called resorption . Osteoblasts form new bone in a process called formation . Hormones (i.e., cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, insulin) regulate the entire sequence, which is called remodeling Two types of bone are affected by osteoporosis: Trabecular bone, which is found in high percentages in the hip, spine, and wrist, is more vulnerable because it has a higher turnover rate.

Recommendations and Rationale Screening for Osteoporosis in Postmenopausal Women U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) This statement summarizes the current U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendation on screening for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women , and updates the 1996 recommendation contained in the Guide to Clinical Preventive Services , Second Edition Summary of Recommendation The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that women aged 65 and older be screened routinely for osteoporosis. The USPSTF recommends that routine screening begin at age 60 for women at increased risk for osteoporotic fractures (Go to Clinical Considerations for discussion of women at increased risk). Rating: B Recommendation Rationale: The USPSTF found good evidence that the risk for osteoporosis and fracture increases with age and other factors, that bone density measurements accurately predict the risk for fractures in the short-term, and that treating asymptomatic women with osteoporosis reduces their risk for fracture. The USPSTF concludes that the benefits of screening and treatment are of at least moderate magnitude for women at increased risk by virtue of age or presence of other risk factors. The USPSTF makes no recommendation for or against routine osteoporosis screening in postmenopausal women who are younger than 60 or in women aged 60-64 who are not at increased risk for osteoporotic fractures.

53. Bone Builders -Osteoporosis Did you know a woman s chances of suffering from an osteoporosis related fracture is greater than her risk of cervical, uterine and breast cancer combined? http://ag.arizona.edu/maricopa/fcs/bb/osteoporosis.html

en Español Home "Did you know a woman's chances of suffering from an osteoporosis related fracture is greater than her risk of cervical, uterine and breast cancer combined?" Osteoporosis is a bone disease best described as "porous bones". Bones are living tissue, constantly being rebuilt. With osteoporosis, the rate of bone loss is greater than that of bone rebuilding, causing thin, porous bones that break easily. More than 28 million Americans have osteoporosis or are at high risk of developing it. One in every 2 women and 1 in ever y 8 men will suffer osteoporosis-related fractures some time in their life. The national cost of osteoporosis and associated fractures is estimated at $10 billion and rising. Osteoporosis causes pain, disability, and loss of independence. However, it is treatable and the amount of bone loss can be prevented. Your bones develop in stages. From birth through adolescence, new bone is built faster than old bone is removed, so bones grow larger and denser. During adolescence, bones grow stronger at an even faster pace than before. Bone mass peaks between ages 20 and 30, then bone loss can outpace formation. After menopause in women, bone loss speeds up because of a loss in estrogen, a hormone that helps protect bones. The risk for osteoporosis increases if too little bone is formed during youth, or too much is lost later in life, or both. Size and quality of bone may be genetically determined, but other factors also influence bonehealth. A family history of osteoporosis or bone fractures, a lifelong low-calcium diet, Caucasian or Asian heritage, lack of exercise, low body weight relative to your height, smoking, drinking excess alcohol, lack of menstruation, and taking certain medications are all risk factors for osteoporosis.
