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
CNN - Osteoporosis: You Can Prevent It - June 2, 1999
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: 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.
