Osteoporosis Jennifer Moss Sam Houston State University KINE 4392 Abstract The purpose of this research is to examine the physical troubles that come along with being diagnosed with osteoporosis and to investigate current medications to reverse/stop the process of this silent disease. The reader will gain knowledge of how over the years physicians have gained a better understanding of Postmenopausal and Senile Osteoporosis through varied studies in both

Function of the Skeletal System 1. Support 2. Movement: The bones of the upper and lower limbs pull and push‚ with the help of muscles. 3 storage as a mineral store. 97% of the body’s calcium is stored in bone. Here it is easily available and turns over fast. In pregnancy the demands of the fetus for calcium require a suitable diet and after menopause hormonal control of calcium levels may be impaired: calcium leaches out leaving brittle osteoporotic bones. 4.

What is it? Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to become very weak and brittle. Bone is a living tissue that is constantly being replaced as it is removed. However‚ when the creation of new bone is not caught up with the removal of old bone‚ bones become brittle. Bones can become so weak that falling down‚ bending over‚ and coughing can cause a fracture. Most fractures occur in the hip‚ wrists‚ and spine. Juvenile Osteoporosis is a rare type of osteoporosis that occurs in children. This

Osteoporosis is a systemic disease of the skeleton characterized by a low bone density and alterations in bone microarchitecture‚ responsible for the exaggerated bone fragility therefore‚ for a high risk of fracture. Biomechanical studies show that bone mineral density (BMD) is the essential factor for bone fragility. Fractures are signs of complications and seriousness of the disease. Currently‚ the diagnosis of the disease can be done before the first fracture with the BMD and examination of risk

Osteoporosis The term Osteoporosis makes me think of older women bent over with a cane to keep their balance. Even though this is a common thought when this disease is mentioned‚ it can be detected in earlier ages and even in males. Osteoporosis is a disease that weakens the bones and makes them more fragile and easier to fracture. If left untreated‚ Osteoporosis can progress painlessly until a bone breaks with little or no effort. With no symptoms‚ osteoporosis is sometimes a disease that

OSTEOPOROSIS Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break.Bone mineral density (BMD) reflects the balance between bone resorption and formation.Peak BMD is reached from age 20-35 for men and women.Osteoporosis occurs when resorption exceeds formation ‚which resultant bone loss.It is diagnosed based on T-score‚with the gold standard measurement being dual energy x-ray absorpimometry (DXA)of the hip and spine BMD.A T-score is the number of standard deviations
