    http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/women/9906/02/osteo.women/index.html
    
    Extractions: By Deborah Messecar (WebMD) Osteoporosis is a very common bone disease that affects older women and men. It causes a reduction in bone density that allows the bone to fracture under minimal stress. Osteoporosis is categorized as either Type I (postmenopausal) or Type II (senile osteoporosis). Type I osteoporosis primarily affects women between the ages of 55 and 75. With this type, fractures of the vertebrae and wrists are the most common. With Type II osteoporosis, both women and men are equally affected, usually between the ages of 70 and 80, and fractures of the vertebrae, hip and long bones (such as those of the arms and legs) are common. Unfortunately, in many ways osteoporosis is a silent disease and usually shows no symptoms until a complication develops, such as a fractured bone or collapsed vertebrae. People with osteoporosis may develop a kyphotic hump (hunchback), or reduced height and decreased spinal movement as later signs of the disease. Back pain may become severe as nerve roots are compressed.

    Extractions: A study conducted by the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASMBR) measured the bone density of athletes, showing that BMD is higher across all sports, particularly weightlifting, gymnastics, and soccer. These athletes' legs, hips, spines, and arms demonstrated bone density that was on average 13% higher than non-athletes. Read more about it here Does this mean we all have to become bodybuilders and Olympians? Fortunately, no! But this data offers compelling evidence that both aerobic and anaerobic exercise can make a difference in increasing bone health. And, in conjunction with that calcium-rich diet, we are very likely to live longer and more fully. For more information, go to: Exercise

    Extractions: WEB SERVICES: PHILADELPHIA (AP) Doctors are failing to test women who suffer wrist fractures for osteoporosis, even though treatment often proves effective and the same women face a greater risk of more serious bone fractures, new research says. The study of 1,162 women over age 54 who suffered wrist fractures found that only 33 patients underwent a bone density scan to detect the presence of osteoporosis and only 266 were treated with medication for the disease. Those women are nearly twice as likely to have hip fractures.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Osteoporosis is the most common type of bone disease. There are currently an estimated 10 million Americans suffering from osteoporosis, as well as another 18 million who have low bone mass, or osteopenia. Osteoporosis occurs when the body fails to form enough new bone, or when too much old bone is reabsorbed by the body, or both. Calcium and phosphate are two minerals that are essential for normal bone formation. Throughout youth, the body uses these minerals to produce bones. If calcium intake is not sufficient, or if the body does not absorb enough calcium from the diet, bone production and bone tissues may suffer. As people age, calcium and phosphate may be reabsorbed back into the body from the bones, which makes the bone tissue weaker. Both situations can result in brittle, fragile bones that are subject to fractures, even in the absence of trauma.

The milk industry spends hundreds of millions promoting the notion that high calcium intake is critical to developing strong bones and preventing osteoporosis. On the basis of pure political power, the dairy business has succeeded in getting the USDA to raise the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for calcium, with ringing endorsements that dairy products are optimal calcium sources. With organizations hopping on the pro-calcium bandwagon like the American Dietetic Association and the Osteoporosis Foundation (both of which receive money from the dairy industry), many nutritionists have joined in the scaremongering by exhorting us to "get lots of calcium lest we grow a generation of vegans whose bones crumble!"
