Osteoporosis
It is also called porous bone. It is a disease that is related to low bone mass and leads to the destruction of bone tissue. It causes bone fragility and the patient has an increased risk of fractures of the hip, spine, and wrist.
Men and women are equally affected by this disease.
The risk factor of disease
Gender: Women are more affected by this disease, as women have less bone tissue. They tend to lose bone faster than men. This is related to changes in hormone levels after menopause.
- Age: Old age is related to the risk of osteoporosis.
- Smaller thin boned women are at greater risk of developing osteoporosis.
- A patient who has a family history of osteoporosis has genetically reduced bone mass and has a risk of fractures.
- Women who have an abnormal absence of menstrual periods and have low levels of estrogen lead to osteoporosis.
- Also, men with a low level of testosterone can have osteoporosis.
- A patient suffering from anorexia nervosa who has an irrational fear of weight gain and has an eating disorder has a greater risk of developing osteoporosis.
- Low levels of calcium and vitamin D in the diet have a greater chance of developing osteoporosis.
- Medicines such as glucocorticoids and some anticonvulsants can lead to loss of bone density and fractures.
- People who are inactive and do not do exercise are at risk of developing osteoporosis.
- Smoking is bad for bones and leads to osteoporosis.
- Excessive consumption of alcohol can lead to an increased risk of bone loss and fractures.
Symptoms:
- It is known as a silent disease. This disease does not have any significant symptoms.
- Patients have weak bones and a sudden bump or fall may lead to a fracture of the hip or vertebrae.
- This leads to back pain which is very severe.

An adequate amount of calcium is very important to prevent osteoporosis, as it prevents rapid bone mass, bone loss, and high fracture rates.
Include food sources of calcium include low-fat dairy products, such as milk, yogurt, cheese, and ice cream; dark green, leafy vegetables, such as broccoli and spinach; sardines and salmon with bones; tofu; almonds; and foods fortified with calcium, such as orange juice, cereals, and bread.
Vitamin D is very important for calcium absorption and bone health.
Food sources of vitamin D include egg yolks, saltwater fish, and liver.
studies show that vitamin D production decreases in the elderly, in people who are housebound, and for people in general during the winter. Adults should have vitamin D intakes of 600 IU (International Units) daily up to age 70. Men and women over age 70 should increase their uptake to 800 IU daily.
Exercise helps in making bone strong. Weight-bearing exercise is the best for your bones because it forces you to work against gravity. Examples include walking, hiking, jogging, climbing stairs, weight training, tennis, and dancing.
Smoking causes easy fractures of bones.
Women who smoke have lower levels of estrogen compared with nonsmokers, and they often go through menopause earlier. Smokers also may absorb less calcium from their diets.
Regular consumption of 2 to 3 ounces a day of alcohol may be damaging to the skeleton, even in young women and men. Those who drink heavily are more prone to bone loss and fracture, because of both poor nutrition and increased risk of falling.
Medicines like glucocorticoids (medications prescribed for a wide range of diseases, including arthritis, asthma, Crohn’s disease, lupus, and other diseases of the lungs, kidneys, and liver) can lead to a loss of bone density and fracture. Bone loss also can result from long-term treatment with certain antiseizure drugs, such as phenytoin1 and barbiturates; gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) drugs used to treat endometriosis; excessive use of aluminum-containing antacids; certain cancer treatments; and excessive thyroid hormone.
