Osteoporosis

there is no synonym

A high rich in calcium can help to prevent osteoporosis, but it will not always prevent it and cannot do so alone. Vitamin D is also necessary, because without it, we cannot properly absorb the calcium. Adults between the ages of 18 and 50 should get about 1000mg of calcium per day, while adults over 50 should get about 1200mg. However, calcium overdose can be dangerous as well, and you avoid consuming very high amounts of calcium. Usually up to 1500mg is recommended, and at 2500mg or higher, symptoms of overdose will begin.

yes, about every 1 in 3 women get osteoporosis, and about 1 in 12 men get osteoporosis

It can be anything fro a minor irritation to a completely debilitating condition that cant even be treated with joint replacement.

Osteoporosis occurs later in life and leads to weakening and fractures of the bones. Osteogenesis imperfecta is a congenital defect which causes fractures to occur from the slightest bump or touch in a child.

That is most commonly diagnosed as anorexia.

Probably... We see family members that have a tendency to lose bone mass... in other words, lose calcium in the bones of the spine and hip, resulting in the vertebra "crushing" down, resulting in spinal compression fractures and something called the "Dowager's hump" (you can google that)...

Bone thinning comes with the territory of aging, however there are things that you can do to delay the effects. If you eat a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D and exercise on a regular basis early in life, and continue with these habits through your adulthood, you can slow the effects of bone thinning.

Osteoporosis is a condition that causes the bones to thin and weaken. The bones are constantly being reabsorbed and replaced. Osteoporosis occurs when more bone is removed than created. Osteoporosis can affect anyone, but it is more common in white and Asian women. Treatment Options For Osteoporosis Medications are usually prescribed to treat osteoporosis. Biphosopanates are the class of medications that are prescribed most frequently. Boniva, Reclast, Atelvia are examples of bisphosopanates. These medications work by lowering the calcium levels in the blood. This helps prevent bone loss. Bisphosopanates are extremely effective, but they may cause side effects. Long-term use of these medications have been linked to swallowing problems, abdominal pain and nausea. These medications can also to cause cracks in the thighbone, but this problem is rare. Estrogen therapy is frequently recommended for women who have osteoporosis. A woman's estrogen levels have a tendency to decline after she goes through menopause. Estrogen loss has been linked to bone loss. However, estrogen therapy can increase the risk of breast cancer, heart disease and blood clots, so doctors have to weigh the risks and benefits. Testosterone therapy may be recommended for men who have this condition. Testosterone therapy may help increase bone density. However, experts agree that there needs to be more research done to examine the effectiveness that testosterone has on bone density. Prevention Not smoking is one of the things that can be done to prevent osteoporosis. Smoking increases the risk of osteoporosis by decreasing the body's ability to absorb calcium. It can also decrease the amount of estrogen in a woman's body. Excessive alcohol consumption is something else that can raise the risk of osteoporosis. It reduces the amount of calcium that is produced is absorbed in the body. Furthermore, diet and exercise may play an important role in preventing osteoporosis. Vitamin D and calcium are essential for bone health, so you want to make sure that you get plenty of those nutrients in your diet. You also want to make sure that you exercise on a regular basis. Exercise will help keep your bones strong. It will also help prevent falls.

Sex hormones, and particularly estradiol (type of estrogen), are necessary in the process of mineralizing the bones. Estradiol is what causes human bones to finish growing, and partly explains why women are shorter. Men produce estradiol too, but as a breakdown product, so the estrogen to signal the end of bone production in boys arrives about 2 years or so after it does in girls. That estrogen spike may also cause breast growth in some boys, and that usually stops on its own. So now that we have established the importance of estrogen in bone production, lets move to the other end of childbearing age.

Throughout a woman's life, the ovaries rupture in places as part of their normal function. In a year's time, maybe over a 1000 egg cells die. While only maybe around 13 or so are directly used in ovulation within that year, the rest are selected out or participate in producing hormones and enzymes. Now a woman already has immature versions of all the egg cells she will release in her entire life. Eventually, 2 things will happen. Then number of viable egg cells will decline and eventually deplete. Also, the ovaries will be completely scarred up from many years of rupturing during ovulation and with the hardening of tissues which occur with age. These changes seem to affect estrogen levels too, and maybe indirectly the body's use of calcium and vitamin D. Men do not have these issues, and their testes can function into their senior years. They sometimes could use hormone replacement too.

According to Dr. Susan Love, the ovaries still produce some hormones even after menopause, and that they may produce more androgens than estrogen. So a woman who suffers surgical menopause because of ovarian pain, cancer, or other problems, she will have an even harder time with hot flashes and bone loss.

People that go to space typically do weight-bearing exercises such as working out with resistance bands, as well as running on a treadmill while strapped down to it in order to prevent osteoporosis. Since there is no gravity while orbiting the earth, muscles and bones do not have the stress that we are all subject to on earth, so exercising becomes critical while in space, especially when spending an extended amount of time in space.

Aids because the guagua made Aids possible

Well, it occurs in older men and women and females are more common to get osteoporosis after menopause (around age 50). What happens is, your bones start to become very brittle and can break with sudden movement or shock. So, please be careful with your grandparents if they seem to start becoming shorter and hunching over. It may be bad for them so please, dont push them down the stairs or play any tricks on them, because the simplest shock may do them much harm.

Osteoporosis is the scientific name... it is Latin with two parts- "Osteo" meaning bone (as in ossification) and "-porosis" refering to the pores or loss of density of the bone.

There are five major risk factors (and personally, I have ALL of them!): 1) family history of the disease, 2) cigarette smoking, 3) petite/small frame, and 4) Asian or Caucasian race, and 5) history of eating disorders (malnutrition leads to weaker bones).

If you have any of these risk factors, then you should be exercising regularly, eating properly, and, above all, you should be taking calcium supplements (preferably ones which have Vitamin D added to them, as calcium has a hard time being absorbed without Vitamin D).

There are many ways including getting older, not intaking enough calcium and not intaking enough vitamin D.

A woman who enters menopause early, a woman who has never given birth, a woman who enters artificial menopause at an early age (hysterectomy), and woman taking Depo Provera for contraception are all likely to develop osteoporosis.

This condition places the person at greater fracture risk, especially of the hip, and of the vertebrae.

Calcium is stored in the bone marrow until the body needs it, at which point it is removed and taken to the place in the body where it is required, such as at a blood clot. The amount of Calcium in one's bones is called their bone density, and when, women especially, grow middle-aged and become elderly, the Calcium is often lost from their bones, and this makes their bones porous and fragile. If they did not eat enough Calcium when they were younger, then this is far more likely and will happen far more quickly.

So, yes, osteoporosis is a deficiency disease of Calcium, but its effects tend to be delayed.

Weight training is the best exercise to prevent osteoporosis

There were reports of frail bones dating to ancient Egypt, but some of the first analyses were by doctors Astley Cooper in the late 1790's and Jean Lobstein in the early 1800s. Lobstein's name was given to a related disease, osteogenesis imperfecta.
