About Osteoporosis

An estimated 44 million people in the United States, and more than half the population over age 50, have osteoporosis or its precursor, osteopenia. But new medications, a focus on increased intake of calcium and vitamin D, and more vigilant assessment of bone-mineral density and future fracture risk are among the latest treatments for the skeletal disorder, which is characterized by compromised bone strength that predisposes a person to greater risk of fracture. This is a very common problem. Patients should discuss their risks with their physicians, says UCLA endocrinologist Sheila Ahmadi, MD About half of all white women will experience a fracture associated with osteoporosis in her lifetime. Osteoporosis also occurs in older men, who are less likely to be screened or treated for the condition, and who have a higher death rate as a consequence of hip fractures. Regular weight-bearing exercise and getting adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D can help prevent the development of osteoporosis, and should start at an early age, says Aurelia Nattiv, MD, director of the UCLA Osteoporosis Center in Santa Monica. People used to think of osteoporosis as a geriatric problem, but bone health begins in childhood, she says. Adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D are particularly important preventative factors. The National Osteoporosis Foundation updated recommended daily requirements in 2008: 1200 mg of calcium and 800-1000 IU of vitamin D for adults 50 years or older; 1000 …

www.superfoodhealthyliving.com What is osteoporosis? Super foods Osteoporosis is a silent disease that causes the bones to thin and weaken to a point where they break more easily, particularly the hip, spine and wrist. One in two women, and one in eight men over the age of 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime. Most won’t know that they have osteoporosis until they break a bone or have a bone density test. Why should you be concerned? Osteoporosis can affect how you look, how you feel, and how long you live. People with osteoporosis often lose several inches in height, sometimes as much as 4-6 inches, because the vertebrae in the spine begin to collapse. They may also develop a hump in their back as they age. People with osteoporosis fracture bones much more easily, and live with the fear of a serious injury. A broken hip, for example, almost always requires hospitalization and major surgery, and even after it heals many cannot walk unassisted. A broken hip could lead to permanent disability or even death; 15% of those who suffer this common injury die as a result of complications such as pneumonia, or other infections, often within the first six months following the fracture.Super Foods Kansas City, Kansas Richardson, Texas Bhutan, Thimphu Morwell, Victoria Port Pirie, South Australia Savannah, Georgia Ash Sha’m, United Arab Emirates,Ash Sha’m, UAE Durham, North Carolina Billings, Montana Indianapolis, Indiana www.superfoodhealthyliving.com www …
