O steoporosis is a public health problem affecting 75 million persons in the United States, Europe and Japan, including one third of postmenopausal women and most of the elderly in the United States, Europe and Japan. Osteoporosis results in more than 1.3 million fractures annually in the United States. Family physicians and other primary care professionals should recognize the implications involved when patients present with fractures, identify patients with subclinical osteoporosis and know when to implement preventive strategies in younger patients. An algorithm (Figure 1) is presented to assist in the evaluation of osteoporosis.

Extractions: Gallstones are a pretty common problem. They account for more than 800,000 hospitalizations annually in the US and are believed to affect more than 20 million Americans. Women are twice as likely as men to be affected, in large part because of several additional risk factors: birth control pills, multiple pregnancies, obesity, and rapid weight loss diets. The good news is that there are ways to reduce your risk. Click here to read the full article.

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.

Extractions: Arthritis affects nearly 43 million Americans. Yet because of misperceptions about the disease, many people never seek appropriate medical care. They believe they are too young to be affected or they may believe that arthritis is "just something you have to learn to live with." While it is true there is no cure for arthritis (just as there is no cure for diabetes or hypertension), there are effective treatments available and measures that can be taken to protect muscles, bones and joints. This is truer today than ever before. 3377 Main Street

CNN - Osteoporosis And Men - June 18, 1999
http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/men/9906/18/osteo.men/index.html

Extractions: By Marvin Ross (WebMD) It is a condition normally associated with postmenopausal women but osteoporosis, or brittle bones, is also seen in men. According to Dr. P. Peris of the University of Barcelona, "Osteoporosis in men has received much less attention; however, it is increasingly recognized as a problem in clinical medicine." In a 1995 study published in the British Journal of Rheumatology, Peris pointed out that 30 percent of all hip fractures occur in men and that vertebral fractures are much more common in men than previously thought. The female-to-male ratio is only 2-to-1. According to Dr. Allan Gold, an endocrinologist and senior physician at the Montreal General Hospital, a recent Canadian survey found that 20 percent of men have serious bone loss in their vertebrae, and by age 70 the figure is as high as 30 percent. Gold said that "men in their 80s have a fracture rate that is equal to women's."

Extractions: There has been much recognition of osteoporosis as a women's health problem, but five million American men are also affected. Even teenagers are not immune, particularly girls. Osteoporosis causes the bones to weaken and fracture under the slightest stress. If detected early, it can be prevented and treated before significant bone loss occurs. Bone tissue can be affected by age, heredity, unhealthy habits, diet, sex hormones, physical inactivity and certain medications. Osteoporosis can be a complication of any chronic disease involving the lungs, liver, kidneys, GI tract, hormones, and rheumatoid arthritis. Bone loss can occur as a result of long term use of steroids, thyroid hormone, some anti-convulsant drugs and chemo-therapies. Low levels of sex hormones are the major cause of osteoporosis. Men with low testosterone levels can be treated with replacement therapy. Detecting Osteoporosis with Bone Mineral Density Testing Women who complete menopause or suffer loss of menstrual periods should investigate the possibility of bone loss with a BMD test. The BMD test is quick, painless, similar to x-ray, and can predict fracture risk.
