Contact Us What is Osteoporosis? researched and written by the ProjectAWARE group, 2001 Derived from Latin, osteoporosis literally means porous bone, which involves both the mineral (inorganic) and the non-mineral (organic matrix) components of bone. Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease in which bone tissue is normally mineralized, but the amount of bone is decreased and the structural integrity of trabecular bone is impaired, becoming more brittle. Cortical bone becomes more porous and thinner. While thinner bone itself is not necessarily more prone to breakage, bone that is both thinner and brittle is more prone to fracture. Bone strength reflects the integration of two main features: bone density and bone quality. Bone density is expressed as grams of mineral per area or volume, and in any given individual is determined by peak bone mass and amount of bone loss. Bone quality refers to architecture, turnover, damage accumulation (e.g., microfractures) and mineralization. Osteoporosis is a significant risk factor for fracture, and a distinction between risk factors that affect bone metabolism and risk factors for fracture must be made.

Specialized bone cells called osteoblasts pull calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus from the blood to build bone mass. Even with a healthy diet and regular exercise, at approximately 30 years the body will begin to lose more bone than it forms. Usually there are not any obvious symptoms of osteoporosis until a fracture occurs or a vertebrae collapses causing a loss of height and a hump in the back (dowager's hump). Osteoporosis affects more than 20 million people in the U.S. and causes 1.5 million fractures each year. Two hundred and fifty thousand of those 1.5 million fractures are hip fractures and for 300,000 people (20% of fractures) it leads to death. Of the 1.2 million that do not die, 600,000 (40% of the fractures) will require long term nursing care because of complications.

@import "/styles/coopext_adv.css"; no. 9.359 Osteoporosis by P. Kendall Quick Facts... Osteoporosis is a process of severe bone deterioration resulting in a high susceptibility to bone fractures. It most often is seen in postmenopausal women, particularly light-skinned, small-framed women with a family history of osteoporosis. The loss of calcium from bones is the major effect of aging on the skeletal system. Therapies include estrogen replacement, exercise and calcium supplements with or without additional nutrients. Such treatments can slow the rate of bone loss but not form new bone. Figure 1: As the skeleton grows increasingly fragile, bone fractures, "dowager's hump," and loss of height may occur. Occurrence and Cause Other factors associated with increased risk of osteoporosis include a family history of the disease, removal of the ovaries at an early age, cigarette smoking, excessive use of alcohol, inadequate intake of calcium, hormonal imbalances, certain medications (glucocorticoids and some anticonvulsants) and insufficient exercise. Symptoms and Diagnosis In recent years, we have seen dramatic advances in methods of diagnosing osteoporosis and assessing the risk of future fractures. Technology is now available to determine bone mass (or density) safely, conveniently, and at relatively low cost. Bone mass measurement is considered the most accurate predictor of fracture risk. In combination with biochemical measurements, it is used to guide osteoporosis treatment.

Osteoporosis Screening The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that women aged 65 and older be screened routinely for osteoporosis. The USPSTF recommends that routine screening begin at age 60 for women at increased risk for osteoporotic fractures There is good evidence that the risk for osteoporosis and fracture increases with age and other factors; bone density measurements accurately predict the risk for fractures in the short-term; treating asymptomatic women with osteoporosis reduces their risk for fracture. The USPSTF concludes that the benefits of screening and treatment are of at least moderate magnitude for women at increased risk by virtue of age or presence of other risk factors There is insufficient evidence to recommend for or against routine osteoporosis screening in postmenopausal women who are younger than 60 or in women aged 60-64 who are not at increased risk for osteoporotic fractures Recommendations and Rationale PDF File , 84 KB) Summary of the Evidence Systematic Evidence Review ( File Download , 166 KB) Press Release What's New from the USPSTF PDF File , 76 KB) Return to U.S. Preventive Services Task Force

Home About CDC Press Room Funding ... Contact Us Search: Bone Health: Home Bones play many roles in the body. They provide structure, protect organs, anchor muscles, and store calcium. Adequate calcium consumption and weight bearing physical activity build strong bones, optimizes bone mass, and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life. For more information on bone health and osteoporosis please visit the National Osteoporosis Foundation online at http://www.nof.org/ Peak Bone Mass Peak bone mass refers to the genetic potential for bone density. By the age of 20, the average woman has acquired most of her skeletal mass. A large decline in bone mass occurs in older adults, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. For women this occurs around the time of menopause. It is important for young girls to reach their peak bone mass in order to maintain bone health throughout life. A person with high bone mass as a young adult will be more likely to have a higher bone mass later in life. Inadequate calcium consumption and physical activity early on could result in a failure to achieve peak bone mass in adulthood. Osteoporosis Osteoporosis or "porous bone" is a disease of the skeletal system characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue. Osteoporosis leads to an increase risk of bone fractures typically in the wrist, hip, and spine.

Further help Osteoporosis mainly affects women after the age of the menopause, although men can have it too. It can occur in younger people if they have other predisposing factors. What causes it? The condition occurs because from around the age of 35 more bone cells are lost than replaced. This causes the bone density to decrease. The first sign is commonly when a minor bump or fall causes a bone fracture. These may result in pain, disability, loss of independence, and death. Osteoporosis may cause people to 'shrink' as they get older. It causes the characteristic 'dowager's hump'. Who is affected?

Postmenopausal Osteoporosis prevention Alternatives to estrogen replacement therapy Estrogen improves calcium absorption and reduces the amount of calcium lost in urine. Hormone replacement is not for everyone however, due to concerns of side effects as well as increased risk of breast and possibly uterine cancer Recent research has shown that regular sessions of weight-bearing exercise , coupled with 1500 mg of calcium and 400-800 IU of vitamin D daily can stop bone loss for some postmenopausal women . Results have been especially encouraging for those who participate in exercise programs designed to head off osteoporosis. Direct measurement of bone density is the only way to be sure about the status of a woman's skeleton. Many physicians feel that all menopausal women who are wavering about estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) should have a density test. A woman's skeleton reaches its peak mass in her mid-thirties, and by the time she reaches menopause her bone mass will have changed as a result of aging and other factors, such as smoking and drinking (which reduce bone mass) and calcium intake and exercise (which build it). Density studies are performed at hospitals and freestanding imaging centers.

180. MilkSucks.com: Got Osteoporosis? Summarizing this study, the Lunar osteoporosis Update (November 1997) To learnmore about dairy foods and osteoporosis, please visit these sites http://www.milksucks.com/osteo.html

"The dairy folks, ever since the 1920s, have been enormously successful in cultivating an environment within virtually all segments of our society—from research and education to public relations and politics—to have us believing that cow's milk and its products are manna from heaven. ... Make no mistake about it; the dairy industry has been virtually in total control of any and all public health information that ever rises to the level of public scrutiny." Dr. T. Colin Campbell Why dairy products won't help you maintain healthy bones Building strong bones and keeping them that way is easier than you may have thought. The dairy pushers pay dietitians, doctors, and researchers to endorse dairy products, spending more than $300 million annually, just at the national level, to retain a market for their products. The dairy industry provides free teaching materials to schools and pays sports stars, celebrities, and politicians to push an agenda based on profit, not public health. Dr. Walter Willett, veteran nutrition researcher at the Harvard School of Public Health, says that calcium consumption via dairy-product intake "has become like a religious crusade," overshadowing true preventive measures such as physical exercise. To hear the dairy industry tell it, if you consume three glasses of milk daily, your bones will be stronger and you will be able to rest assured that osteoporosis is not in your future. Not so. After examining all the available nutritional studies and evidence, Dr. John McDougall concludes: "The primary cause of osteoporosis is the high-protein diet most Americans consume today. As one leading researcher in this area said, 'eating a high-protein diet is like pouring acid rain on your bones.'" Remarkably enough, both clinical and population studies show that milk-drinkers tend to have more bone breaks than people who consume milk infrequently or not at all. For the dairy industry to lull unsuspecting women and children into complacency by telling them to be sure to drink more milk so that their bones will be strong may make good business sense, but it does the consumer a grave disservice.
