What causes degenerative bone disease?

Answer 1

Yes. Osteoperosis is a loss of bone mass and density. It may be prevented or reduced by- *weight bearing exercise, take *calcium with magnesium and vitamin D *a good diet (Also iprflavone may help) Osteoporosis isn't just a calcium deficiency. It can be caused by an endocrine problem that stems from a form of insulin resistance. Insulin does not just serve in blood sugar activities. It is a hormone that stores calcium and magnesium in tissue. With a resistance to the effects of insulin, the body cannot store any extra of it's valuable bone building metabolites, in fact the body actually disposes of all its extras through the urinary tract. If it were a matter of just eating more calcium, then no one would have osteoporosis once they found out about it. Everyone that I've ever heard to have it eats enough calcium to kill a large elephant, but with no appearant results.

Answer 2

Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break. If not prevented or if left untreated, osteoporosis can progress painlessly until a bone breaks. These broken bones, or fractures, occur typically in the hip, spine, and wrist.

A type of degenerative bone disease is osteoperosis, where the bone loses calcium to maintain homeostasis in the body because of a lack of calcium in diet; usually occurring in the elderly population.

Answer 3

Aids.

Degenerative Bone Disease:

Saying the Degenerative Bone Disease IS Osteoporosis is a misnomer, and NOT entirely correct. It would be better to say that Osteoporosis is one of the most common causes of degenerative bone disease; but DBD can be the result of several disorders/diseases that affects the bones. In addition to Osteoporosis, which can cause serious fractures; there are other diseases/disorders that can lead to bone degeneration, even cartilage loss - Vitamin D deficiency; chronic Kidney disease and Renal disease; Parathyroid disease; sever calcium deficiency; bone injuries; Spinal Spondylosis; Menopause; medications (some prescriptions can harm the bones); Jaw DBD either or both the mandible or maxilla (the following jaw disorders/disease can progress into DBD, Periodontal disease, cancer, tooth extractions spreading infection to the bone, an abbess infection spreading to the bone, jaw deformities, Osteonecrosis, and injury…); Obesity (can cause poor bone health which can lead to DBD); Paget 's disease (can lead to DBD, even bone cancer)… Bones are made up of healthy living cells which break down old bone tissues, thereby building new marrow and bone cells (Osteoclasts and Osteoblasts). When these cells can NO longer do the job that they are meant to do the bones can break down and weaken.

Degenerative Bone Disease (DBD) is often confused with Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD):

Degenerative bone disease not only causes damage to the bone, it can involve the joint. If the joint is involved, it can also cause deterioration to a joint's cartilage. Cartilage damage with DBD is secondary to its bone damage, because it is a disease of the bone that is primary. It is DBDs effect upon the bone that adds to the destruction of the cartilage. Once the cartilage is gone, it allows the two ends of the bone joint to rub together, thereby adding more corrosion of the weakened bone. The damage caused to the bone can become much more extensive once the cartilage of the joint is gone.

Below are two types of Degenerative Joint Disease:

Osteoarthritis - (This can add to DBD, but it is NOT the cause of it; it is Degenerative Joint Disease - DJD.)

Rheumatoid Arthritis- (As with Osteoarthritis, this is degenerative joint disease - in overdrive! It causes serious inflammation in the joint and the surrounding tissues; this is what causes the extensive damage that is seen with this disease. RA causes serious deformities to the joint its connecting bone, as the bone and cartilage erodes. Rheumatoid Arthritis can add to DBD; it is NOT the cause it.)
