Osteoporosis
Reduction of bone mass without alteration in the composition of bone, leading to fractures. Primary osteoporosis can be of two major types: postmenopausal osteoporosis (OSTEOPOROSIS, POSTMENOPAUSAL) and age-related or senile osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal
Metabolic disorder associated with fractures of the femoral neck, vertebrae, and distal forearm. It occurs commonly in women within 15-20 years after menopause, and is caused by factors associated with menopause including estrogen deficiency.
Bone Density
The amount of mineral per square centimeter of BONE. This is the definition used in clinical practice. Actual bone density would be expressed in grams per milliliter. It is most frequently measured by X-RAY ABSORPTIOMETRY or TOMOGRAPHY, X RAY COMPUTED. Bone density is an important predictor for OSTEOPOROSIS.
Bone Density Conservation Agents

Breaks in bones resulting from low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration characteristic of OSTEOPOROSIS.
Fractures, Bone
Breaks in bones.
Diphosphonates
Organic compounds which contain P-C-P bonds, where P stands for phosphonates or phosphonic acids. These compounds affect calcium metabolism. They inhibit ectopic calcification and slow down bone resorption and bone turnover. Technetium complexes of diphosphonates have been used successfully as bone scanning agents.
Absorptiometry, Photon
A noninvasive method for assessing BODY COMPOSITION. It is based on the differential absorption of X-RAYS (or GAMMA RAYS) by different tissues such as bone, fat and other soft tissues. The source of (X-ray or gamma-ray) photon beam is generated either from radioisotopes such as GADOLINIUM 153, IODINE 125, or Americanium 241 which emit GAMMA RAYS in the appropriate range; or from an X-ray tube which produces X-RAYS in the desired range. It is primarily used for quantitating BONE MINERAL CONTENT, especially for the diagnosis of OSTEOPOROSIS, and also in measuring BONE MINERALIZATION.
Fractures, Spontaneous
Fractures occurring as a result of disease of a bone or from some undiscoverable cause, and not due to trauma. (Dorland, 27th ed)

A diphosphonate which affects calcium metabolism. It inhibits ectopic calcification and slows down bone resorption and bone turnover.
Bone Remodeling
The continuous turnover of BONE MATRIX and mineral that involves first an increase in BONE RESORPTION (osteoclastic activity) and later, reactive BONE FORMATION (osteoblastic activity). The process of bone remodeling takes place in the adult skeleton at discrete foci. The process ensures the mechanical integrity of the skeleton throughout life and plays an important role in calcium HOMEOSTASIS. An imbalance in the regulation of bone remodeling's two contrasting events, bone resorption and bone formation, results in many of the metabolic bone diseases, such as OSTEOPOROSIS.

It can also be viewed as a hormone since it can be formed in SKIN by action of ULTRAVIOLET RAYS upon the precursors, 7-dehydrocholesterol and ERGOSTEROL, and acts on VITAMIN D RECEPTORS to regulate CALCIUM in opposition to PARATHYROID HORMONE.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators
A structurally diverse group of compounds distinguished from ESTROGENS by their ability to bind and activate ESTROGEN RECEPTORS but act as either an agonist or antagonist depending on the tissue type and hormonal milieu. They are classified as either first generation because they demonstrate estrogen agonist properties in the ENDOMETRIUM or second generation based on their patterns of tissue specificity. (Horm Res 1997;48:155-63)

Estrogen Replacement Therapy
The use of hormonal agents with estrogen-like activity in postmenopausal or other estrogen-deficient women to alleviate effects of hormone deficiency, such as vasomotor symptoms, DYSPAREUNIA, and progressive development of OSTEOPOROSIS. This may also include the use of progestational agents in combination therapy.
Parathyroid Hormone
A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.

Dietary intake and practices in the Hong Kong Chinese population. (1/3580)

OBJECTIVES: To examine dietary intake and practices of the adult Hong Kong Chinese population to provide a basis for future public health recommendations with regard to prevention of certain chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and osteoporosis. PARTICIPANTS: Age and sex stratified random sample of the Hong Kong Chinese population aged 25 to 74 years (500 men, 510 women). METHOD: A food frequency method over a one week period was used for nutrient quantification, and a separate questionnaire was used for assessment of dietary habits. Information was obtained by interview. RESULTS: Men had higher intakes of energy and higher nutrient density of vitamin D, monounsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol, but lower nutrient density of protein, many vitamins, calcium, iron, copper, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. There was an age related decrease in energy intake and other nutrients except for vitamin C, sodium, potassium, and percentage of total calorie from carbohydrate, which all increased with age. Approximately 50% of the population had a cholesterol intake of < or = 300 mg; 60% had a fat intake < or = 30% of total energy; and 85% had a percentage of energy from saturated fats < or = 10%; criteria considered desirable for cardiovascular health. Seventy eight per cent of the population had sodium intake values in the range shown to be associated with the age related rise in blood pressure with age. Mean calcium intake was lower than the FAO/WHO recommendations. The awareness of the value of wholemeal bread and polyunsaturated fat spreads was lower in this population compared with that in Australia. There was a marked difference in types of cooking oil compared with Singaporeans, the latter using more coconut/palm/mixed vegetable oils. CONCLUSION: Although the current intake pattern for cardiovascular health for fat, saturated fatty acid, and cholesterol fall within the recommended range for over 50% of the population, follow up surveys to monitor the pattern would be needed. Decreasing salt consumption, increasing calcium intake, and increasing the awareness of the health value of fibre may all be beneficial in the context of chronic disease prevention.  (+info)

Cyclical etidronate increases bone density in the spine and hip of postmenopausal women receiving long term corticosteroid treatment. A double blind, randomised placebo controlled study. (2/3580)

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of cyclic etidronate in secondary prevention of corticosteroid induced osteoporosis. METHODS: A double blind, randomised placebo controlled study comparing cyclic etidronate and placebo during two years in 37 postmenopausal women receiving long term corticosteroid treatment, mainly for polymyalgia rheumatica (40% of the patients) and rheumatoid arthritis (30%). Bone density was measured in the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and femoral trochanter. RESULTS: After two years of treatment there was a significant difference between the groups in mean per cent change from baseline in bone density in the spine in favour of etidronate (p = 0.003). The estimated treatment difference (mean (SD)) was 9.3 (2.1)%. Etidronate increased bone density in the spine (4.9 (2.1)%, p < 0.05) whereas the placebo group lost bone (-2.4 (1.6)%). At the femoral neck there was an estimated difference of 5.3 (2.6)% between the groups (etidronate: 3.6% (1.4)%, p < 0.05, placebo: -2.4 (2.1)%). The estimated difference at the trochanter was 8.2 (3.0) (etidronate: 9.0 (1.5)%, p < 0.0001, placebo: 0.5 (2.3)%). No significant bone loss occurred in the hip in placebo treated patients. CONCLUSIONS: Cyclic etidronate is an effective treatment for postmenopausal women receiving corticosteroid treatment and is well tolerated.  (+info)

Dietary isoflavones: biological effects and relevance to human health. (3/3580)

Substantial evidence indicates that diets high in plant-based foods may explain the epidemiologic variance of many hormone-dependent diseases that are a major cause of mortality and morbidity in Western populations. There is now an increased awareness that plants contain many phytoprotectants. Lignans and isoflavones represent two of the main classes of phytoestrogens of current interest in clinical nutrition. Although ubiquitous in their occurrence in the plant kingdom, these bioactive nonnutrients are found in particularly high concentrations in flaxseeds and soybeans and have been found to have a wide range of hormonal and nonhormonal activities that serve to provide plausible mechanisms for the potential health benefits of diets rich in phytoestrogens. Data from animal and in vitro studies provide convincing evidence for the potential of phytoestrogens in influencing hormone-dependent states; although the clinical application of diets rich in these estrogen mimics is in its infancy, data from preliminary studies suggest beneficial effects of importance to health. This review focuses on the more recent studies pertinent to this field and includes, where appropriate, the landmark and historical literature that has led to the exponential increase in interest in phytoestrogens from a clinical nutrition perspective.  (+info)

Walker 256/S carcinosarcoma causes osteoporosis-like changes through ectopical secretion of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone. (4/3580)

We have shown that Walker 256/S mammary carcinoma caused osteoporosis-like changes in young female rats, accompanied by low serum estradiol and hypercalciuria without changes in the serum levels of calcium, phosphorus, and parathyroid hormone-related peptide. In this study, we investigated the cause of bone loss after Walker 256/S inoculation into female 6-week-old Wistar Imamichi rats, focusing on the sex hormone balance in the host animal. Walker 256/S-bearing rats showed characteristic osteoporosis, with a significant increase in spleen weight and a significant decrease in uterine weight by 14 days after s.c. tumor inoculation. In the in vitro bone marrow culture, mineralized nodule formation ability decreased according to the time after tumor inoculation, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive multinucleated cell formation increased at 7 days after tumor inoculation, but it began to decrease at 14 days after tumor inoculation. This indicates that after inoculation with Walker 256/S tumor, the progenitors of osteoblasts and ostroclasts lost their balance in the bone turnover, resulting in bone resorption. On the other hand, Walker 256/S carcinoma expressed luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) mRNA, and in Walker 256/S-bearing rats, the serum LH-RH level increased significantly from 3 days after tumor inoculation, whereas in the healthy control rats, this level was very low. Consequently, the serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol, and progesterone were significantly lower in the tumor-bearing rats than in the healthy control rats. Because the LH-RH gene is located in the long prolactin release-inhibiting factor (PIF) gene and mRNA amplified by reverse transcription-PCR in this study contained whole LH-RH and a part of PIF, the Walker 256/S tumor is thought to express PIF. Indeed, the serum prolactin level decreased in tumor-bearing rats. The serum level of growth hormone, one of the other pituitary hormones, was not changed. Moreover, the level of an osteolytic cytokine, tumor necrosis factor alpha, increased in the serum of Walker 256/S-bearing rats, although this may be a result of the immune response of the host animal to tumor growth as well as an enlarged spleen. In conclusion, the Walker 256/S tumor lowers estrogen secretion through ectopical oversecretion of LH-RH, and then osteolytic cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha, increase in tumor-bearing rats, escape the control of estrogen, and activate osteoclasts, resulting in bone loss in a short period.  (+info)

A high incidence of vertebral fracture in women with breast cancer. (5/3580)

Because treatment for breast cancer may adversely affect skeletal metabolism, we investigated vertebral fracture risk in women with non-metastatic breast cancer. The prevalence of vertebral fracture was similar in women at the time of first diagnosis to that in an age-matched sample of the general population. The incidence of vertebral fracture, however, was nearly five times greater than normal in women from the time of first diagnosis [odds ratio (OR), 4.7; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 2.3-9.9], and 20-fold higher in women with soft-tissue metastases without evidence of skeletal metastases (OR, 22.7; 95% CI, 9.1-57.1). We conclude that vertebral fracture risk is markedly increased in women with breast cancer.  (+info)

Bone densitometry at a district general hospital: evaluation of service by doctors and patients. (6/3580)

OBJECTIVE: To assess doctors' and patients' views about a district general hospital bone densitometry service and to examine existing practice to influence future provision. DESIGN: Three postal surveys: (a) of doctors potentially using the service, (b) of patients undergoing a bone densitometry test during a six month period, and (c) of the referring doctors of the patients undergoing the test. SETTING: Bone densitometry service at South Cleveland Hospital, Middlesbrough and two district health authorities: South Tees and Northallerton. SUBJECTS: All general practitioners (n=201) and hospital consultants in general medicine, rheumatology, obstetrics and gynaecology, orthopaedics, radio therapy and oncology, haematology, and radiology (n=61); all patients undergoing an initial bone densitometry test (n=309) during a six month period; and their referring doctors. MAIN MEASURES: Service awareness and use, knowledge of clinical indications, test results, influence of test results on patient management, satisfaction with the service and its future provision. RESULTS: The overall response rates for the three surveys were 87%, 70%, and 61%. There was a high awareness of the service among doctors and patients; 219(84%) doctors were aware and 155 of them (71%) had used it, and patients often (40%) suggested the test to their doctor. The test was used for a range of reasons including screening although the general use was consistent with current guidelines. Two hundred (65%) bone densitometry measurements were normal, 71(23%) were low normal, and 38(12%) were low. Although doctors reported that management of patients had been influenced by the test results, the algorithm for decision making was unclear. Patients and doctors were satisfied with the service and most (n=146, 68%) doctors wanted referral guidelines for the service. CONCLUSIONS: There was a high awareness of, use of, and satisfaction with the service. Patients were being referred for a range of reasons and a few of these could not be justified, many tests were normal, and clinical decision making was not always influenced by the test result. It is concluded that bone densitometry services should be provided but only for patients whose management will be influenced by test results and subject to guidelines to ensure appropriate use of the technology.  (+info)

Development and validation of a simple questionnaire to facilitate identification of women likely to have low bone density. (8/3580)

The relationship between low bone mass and risk of fracture is well documented. Although bone densitometry is the method of choice for detecting low bone mass, its use may be limited by the availability of equipment, cost, and reimbursement issues. Improved patient selection for bone densitometry might increase the cost-effectiveness of screening for osteoporosis, a goal we sought to achieve by developing and validating a questionnaire based solely on patient-derived data. Responses to the questionnaire were used to assign postmenopausal women to one of two groups: (1) those unlikely to have low bone mineral density (defined as 2 standard deviations or more below the mean bone mass at the femoral neck in young, healthy white women) and therefore probably not currently candidates for bone densitometry; and (2) those likely to have low bone mineral density and therefore probably candidates for bone densitometry. We asked community-dwelling perimenopausal and postmenopausal women attending one of 106 participating multispecialty centers (both academic and community based) to complete a self-administered questionnaire and undergo bone density measurement using dual x-ray absorptiometry. We used regression modeling to identify factors most predictive of low bone density at the femoral neck in the postmenopausal group. A simple additive scoring system was developed based on the regression model. Results were validated in a separate cohort of postmenopausal women. Data were collected from 1279 postmenopausal women in the development cohort. Using only six questions (age, weight, race, fracture history, rheumatoid arthritis history, and estrogen use), we achieved a target of 89% sensitivity and 50% specificity. The likelihood ratio was 1.78. Validation in a separate group of 207 postmenopausal women yielded 91% sensitivity and 40% specificity. Assuming population characteristics similar to those of our development cohort, use of our questionnaire could decrease the use of bone densitometry by approximately 30%. Sensitivity and specificity can be varied by changing the level for referral for densitometry to provide the most cost-effective use within a particular healthcare setting. Thus use of our questionnaire, an inexpensive prescreening tool, in conjunction with physician assessment can optimize the use of bone densitometry and may lead to substantial savings in many healthcare settings where large numbers of women require evaluation for low bone mass.  (+info)

Management of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis: prevalence, and emerging treatment options Juraj Payer, Kristina Brazdilova, Peter Jackuliak5th Department of Internal Medicine, Medical Faculty of Comenius University and Faculty Hospital Bratislava, Bratislava, SlovakiaAbstract: An excess amount of glucocorticoids represents the primary and most frequent etiological factor influencing secondary osteoporosis. Patients receiving glucocorticoids, but also those with the endogenous form of hypercorticism, are at high risk for the loss of bone density, with the subsequent occurrence of pathological fractures. In this review, we summarize the currently available methods of prevention and the treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. We also include a proposal for both a prophylactic and therapeutic approach that takes into account the risk factors typical for long-term users of glucocorticoids.Keywords: glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, bone mineral density, osteoporotic fractures, calcium and

Secondary osteoporosis - NatureWordSecondary osteoporosis - NatureWord
1) Primary osteoporosis. This is the most common type and affects both men and women over a certain age. Its causes are diverse and may range from hormonal problems to poor dietary habits and lack of physical activity. For more information on the subject, you can read the article on osteoporosis causes.. 2) Secondary osteoporosis. This occurs either as a result of another disease (hyperthyroidism, for example) or as a result of the medication taken to treat another disease. Prolonged use of certain medication is known to lead to side effects such as low bone mineral density and increase the risk of osteoporosis.. 3) Juvenile osteoporosis. Although rare, this type of osteoporosis affects children during their growth period and may have to do with low bone formation rates or fast bone resorption rates. Any significant growth spurt occurring in between 8 and 18 years of age can trigger osteoporosis onset.. 4) Osteogenesis imperfecta. This is also a rare occurrence. It is a type of osteoporosis that ...

Osteoporosis resident survival guide - wikidocOsteoporosis resident survival guide - wikidoc
Osteoporosis was first discovered by John Hunter, British surgeon, in 1800s. Osteoporosis may be classified as primary or secondary, based on etiology; while, it is divided in to osteopenia, osteoporosis, and severe osteoporosis, based on disease severity. Osteoporosis occurs as result of an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation. Major contributing factors to the development of osteoporosis include estrogen deficiency and aging. These factors might lead to osteoporosis by reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated damage to osteocytes. Decrease in the capability of autophagy in osteocytes is another important factor which makes them vulnerable to oxidative stress. Genes involved in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis can be categorized in four main groups which include the osteoblast regulatory genes, osteoclast regulatory genes, bone matrix elements genes, and hormone/receptor genes. Osteoporosis must be differentiated from other diseases associated with a decrease in bone mineral ...

Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis - The RheumatologistGlucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis - The Rheumatologist
To determine if a patient has glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, you can measure the bone mineral density (BMD) at different parts of the patients body, such as the spine and hip. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is currently the best test to measure BMD. The test is quick and painless; it is similar to having an X-ray taken, but uses much less radiation. DXA results are scored in comparison to the BMD of young, healthy individuals, resulting in a measurement called a T-score. Patients with T-scores of -2.5 or lower are considered to have osteoporosis and are at a higher risk for a fracture.. According to patient fact-sheet writer Shreyasee Amin, MD, the major goal in the management of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis is the prevention of fractures and to help decrease bone loss. At a minimum, she suggests that patients should take 1,000 to 1,500 milligrams of calcium and 400 to 800 IU of vitamin D supplements on a daily basis.. ...

Author(s): Sebastian, Anthony; Frassetto, Lynda A | Abstract: Osteoporosis is a disorder of bone in which the mass of the bone is reduced and the bones architecture at the microscopic level is disordered. Together those abnormalities predispose affected individuals to experience fractures despite only minimal trauma (i.e., fragility fractures). Age related osteoporosis is a common type of osteoporosis that occurs with aging in both men and women usually beginning after the age of peak bone mass. Research has found that the disorder can be partially reversed by reducing the net amount of acid that is produced when consuming typical Western diets. However, the amelioration that results has not been so dramatic or so consistent that physicians have adopted the procedure as part of the standard treatment for age-related osteoporosis. We propose that reducing the net acid load from the diet is not sufficient to reverse age related osteoporosis because it fails to supply base needed to restore the large

UNLABELLED: This paper provides a framework for the development of national guidelines for the management of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis in men and women aged 18 years and over in whom oral glucocorticoid therapy is considered for 3 months or longer. INTRODUCTION: The need for updated guidelines for Europe and other parts of the world was recognised by the International Osteoporosis Foundation and the European Calcified Tissue Society, which set up a joint Guideline Working Group at the end of 2010. METHODS AND RESULTS: The epidemiology of GIO is reviewed. Assessment of risk used a fracture probability-based approach, and intervention thresholds were based on 10-year probabilities using FRAX. The efficacy of intervention was assessed by a systematic review. CONCLUSIONS: Guidance for glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis is updated in the light of new treatments and methods of assessment. National guidelines derived from this resource need to be tailored within the national healthcare framework of

FDA Approves New Injectable Osteoporosis Treatment for Postmenopausal Women - Healthcanal.com : Healthcanal.comFDA Approves New Injectable Osteoporosis Treatment for Postmenopausal Women - Healthcanal.com : Healthcanal.com
Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bones become weak and are more likely to break. According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, 80 percent of the people in the United States with osteoporosis are women. One out of every two women over age 50 will break a bone in their lifetime due to osteoporosis.. People with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture include those that have had an osteoporotic fracture, or have multiple risk factors for fracture; or those who have failed or are intolerant to other available osteoporosis therapy. Prolia works to decrease the destruction of bone and increase bone mass and strength. An injection of Prolia is recommended once every six months.. Due to its prevalence, osteoporosis is a serious concern to public health, said Julie Beitz, M.D., director of the FDAs Office of Drug Evaluation III. The approval of Prolia provides another treatment option for postmenopausal women with osteoporosis who are susceptible to ...

Treatment of male osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is now recognized as an important public health problem in men. One in three osteoporotic fractures occur in men and the consequences of a fracture in men tend to be more severe than in women. There is now more knowledge about the risk factors and the secondary causes of osteoporosis and fractures in the male population. However, osteoporosis in men still remains under-diagnosed and under-treated. Therapeutic approaches to osteoporosis in men are less well defined than in women. Most of the pharmacologic agents that are currently available, are licensed for use in men on the basis of BMD end points and extrapolation of previous fracture data in women. Drugs now approved for treatment of male osteoporosis in most countries include the anti-resorptive amino-bisphosphonates alendronate, risedronate and zoledronic acid, the anti-resorptive monoclonal antibody denosumab, and the bone-anabolic agent teriparatide. In recent randomized controlled trials most of these compounds were ...

There are no data on the use of denosumab in steroid induced osteoporosis. Postmenopausal women with chronic use of Glucocorticoid (GCs) are at high-risk of osteoporotic fractures. Despite bisphosphonate treatment, a certain proportion of high-risk patients using chronic GCs either do not achieve a satisfactory gain in bone mineral density (BMD) or develop new fragility fractures. Thus, more potent osteoporosis treatment is necessary for this subgroup of patients. This prompts the current study which aims to examine the efficacy of denosumab in current users of oral bisphosphonates for Glucocorticoid-induced Osteoporosis (GIOP ...

Osteoporosis Treatment - INDIEBOUND
Osteoporosis is a disease that affects the bones. As the bones start loosing their usual density they become weaker & are more likely to break. Studies have shown that every one in two women & every one in four men above the age of 50 tend to break bones due to osteoporosis. It can cause serious complications & appropriate measures must be taken to avoid extreme consequences.. There is no exact cure for osteoporosis. The idea of the osteoporosis treatment process is to strengthen the bones in order to protect them. The treatment primarily consists of a combination of drugs and suitable lifestyle changes that help in minimising the rate of bone resorption.. Preventive measures include a modification in the general lifestyle factors, doing more muscle-strengthening exercises and ensuring adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D.The medications used for osteoporosis treatment are anti-resorptive agents. Osteoporosis occurs when the rate of resorption in the bones overtakes the rate of bone ...

Strengthen Your Odds Against the Silent Disease - OsteoporosisStrengthen Your Odds Against the Silent Disease - Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a very prevalent condition, affecting millions of adults.. Osteoporosis occurs when the bones become thin and weakened, often as a natural part of aging. This is because as bones age, bone breaks down and absorbs faster than new bone forms.. Most individuals will experience osteoporosis after age 60, but it can happen at any age.. Women who have gone through menopause are at an increased risk for developing osteoporosis due to the decline in estrogen levels. Estrogen protects bone mass, and the reduction of the hormone post-menopause can cause bone loss.. Women age 65 and older should have a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan to screen for osteoporosis.. Osteoporosis is called the silent disease because most patients with osteoporosis wont exhibit any symptoms until they break a bone.. Individuals with osteoporosis are at high risk of developing broken bones (fractures), even with minimal trauma.. Fractures that develop with minimal trauma due to weakness and thinned ...

Fractures associated with osteoporosis are expected to rise to 3 million by 2025 with a cost of $25 billion in medical costs. Many of these fractures could be avoided through preventive measures, such as improved implementation of fall reduction strategies and use of effective medications. While medications can significantly reduce the chance of fractures among adults with osteoporosis, alarmingly few at-risk adults use osteoporosis treatments regularly. Only 10% to 30% of at-risk adults ever initiate osteoporosis medications, and of those, only 40% to 50% continue to fill their prescriptions after 1 year. There is a clear need to develop ways for improving adherence with osteoporosis medication regimens. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a telephone coaching program, with or without helpful adherence notifications to doctors, in improving treatment adherence in older adults who are starting an osteoporosis medication..

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO) is the leading cause of secondary osteoporosis. Clinical evidence suggests a role for genistein aglycone in the treatment of post-menopausal osteopenia although proof of efficacy in comparison with currently available treatments is still lacking. To clarify this issue, we investigated the effects of genistein on bone compared with alendronate in experimental GIO. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: A total of 28 female Sprague-Dawley rats were used. GIO was induced by daily injections of methylprednisolone (MP; 30 mg x kg(-1) s.c.) for 60 days. Sham GIO animals (Sham-MP) were injected daily with the MP vehicle. At the end of the osteoporosis development period, MP rats were randomized to receive: vehicle (n= 7), genistein aglycone (5 mg x kg(-1) s.c.; n= 7) or alendronate (0.03 mg x kg(-1) s.c.; n= 7). Treatment lasted 60 days. Sham-MP animals were treated with vehicle for an additional 60 days. At the beginning and at the end of treatments, ...

Osteoporosis: Signs, Indications, Symptoms, Causes, Treatment, Therapy, PreventionOsteoporosis: Signs, Indications, Symptoms, Causes, Treatment, Therapy, Prevention
Osteoporosis is caused by the bones losing density, and this can be due to a variety of issues. The bones of the body are a living tissue that is constantly being broken down and built up again. A special form of bone cell, osteoclasts break down bone cells that are damaged, and osteoblasts, a different type of cell, build up new bone tissue. Bones are never solid, but as osteoporosis sets in, the bones develop larger spaces between clusters of tissue. In secondary osteoporosis, this loss of density is due to a diagnosed medical condition, including bone marrow disease, inflammatory disorders, endocrine diseases, or taking certain corticosteroids. In primary osteoporosis, the relationship between osteoclasts and osteoblasts gradually gets off balance as people age, and they lose bone density without a medical condition. Certain levels of hormones and nutrients tend to contribute to primary osteoporosis. If a person does not have enough calcium for essential bodily functions, the body will leach ...

Osteoporosis management is suboptimal even for high-risk people with a history of prior fracture. There is also evidence that individuals with moderate trauma fracture have a lower bone density and are at higher risk of subsequent fracture. This study aimed to define factors influencing the management of individuals at risk for osteoporosis and to examine the risk profiles of individuals with minimal and moderate trauma fractures. Consecutive fracture patients (n =218) treated in the outpatient fracture clinic in St Vincents Hospital, Sydney, over a 15-month period (February 2002-July 2003) were interviewed. Fracture risk factors, prior investigation and treatment for osteoporosis were collected and participants were contacted after 3 months to ascertain follow-up. Risk factors for osteoporosis including family history, low dietary calcium and conditions associated with bone loss were similar between low- and moderate-trauma groups and between sexes.

TCM found to decrease risk of bone fracture in osteoporosis patients - NaturalNews.comTCM found to decrease risk of bone fracture in osteoporosis patients - NaturalNews.com
The herbs used in TCM are known for their many therapeutic properties. To investigate their potential in preventing osteoporotic fractures, Taiwanese researchers conducted a nationwide, population-based cohort study. They identified osteoporosis cases and selected a comparison group that was frequency-matched according to sex, age (per five years), diagnosis year of osteoporosis, and index year. They also estimated the difference between the two groups in terms of the development of fracture using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test.. After the insertion of age, gender, urbanization level, and comorbidities into the Coxs proportional hazard model, the researchers found that the patients who used TCM had a lower hazard ratio of fracture compared to those who did not use TCM. Based on the Kaplan-Meier curves, they also reported that osteoporosis patients who used TCM had a lower incidence of fracture than those who did not. In addition, the researchers observed that patients who used ...

The options available for effective osteoporosis treatment continue to grow. Because of the large number of treatment options, many clinicians, particularly in primary care, are uncertain about when to start therapy, which drug to use, and when to stop. The issue of when to stop antifracture therapy is now front and center as evidence accumulates that the antifracture benefits of some treatments persist after discontinuation and as patients increasingly voice concerns about possible rare but serious problems linked to osteoporosis treatment, such as atypical femoral fractures, osteonecrosis of the jaw, arrhythmias, and cancer. The decision about when to stop or change osteoporosis treatment is particularly complex and should be influenced by the expected benefits and harms of continued use and at least some information about what to expect after therapy is stopped (also known as resolution-of-effect). A prolonged skeletal resolution-of-effect, characteristic of at least some bisphosphonates, might be

IOF World Congress on Osteoporosis 2004
May 17, 2004. Strontium ranelate can prevent both hip and vertebral fractures in women over 70 years old, researchers reported this week at the IOF World Congress on Osteoporosis in Rio de Janeiro (conference abstract OC 39).. Women in this age bracket have an elevated risk of sustaining hip fractures, which have been shown to increase mortality at the rate of 15 to 30 percent, mostly within the first six months after the fracture. Data show that two grams of strontium ranelate, taken daily, can reduce the risk of hip fractures in this subpopulation by 36%, and vertebral fractures by up to 59%.. The bone-saving properties of strontium ranelate were evaluated in two randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trials. The five-year TROPOS (TReatment Of Peripheral OSteoporosis) study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of the drug in treating peripheral fractures, while the Spinal Osteoporosis Therapeutic Intervention (SOTI) study was designed to assess the drugs ability to reduce new vertebral ...

NewYork-Presbyterian Queens - Juvenile Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a progressive condition in which bone density is lost, or there is insufficient bone formation, thereby weakening the bones and making them more susceptible to fractures. Although much more common in older adults, especially women in menopause and after, osteoporosis can also occur during childhood. Most often, osteoporosis during childhood is caused by an underlying medical condition (the disease is then called secondary osteoporosis) or a genetic disorder (such as osteogenesis imperfecta). However, sometimes, no cause can be found and the disease is categorized as a very rare form of osteoporosis, called idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis (IJO).. ...

National Osteoporosis Society media campaign starts conversations about healthy eating
The launch of the National Osteoporosis Societys Message to My Younger Self campaign generated extensive press coverage this week, highlighting crucial messages to millions of people across the UK about the importance of healthy eating for strong bones.. Our story - which warned that current eating habits of teenagers and young adults could cause bone health problems in later life - was reported across the UK media, with some reports focusing on the dangers of diets which cut out some food groups such as dairy products.. This element of some of the reports generated a great deal of interest, particularly across the charitys social media channels.. Responding to the issues raised over the role dairy plays in bone health, National Osteoporosis Society Clinical Director Fizz Thompson said the charitys main message was to eat a healthy balanced diet including calcium for strong bones in all its forms.. Dairy is just one way to get good amounts of calcium; its not better absorbed or preferable ...

Although physicians may be familiar with osteoporosis, a systemic skeletal disease that leads to increased bone fragility, there may not always see the significance of the disease. Unfortunately, the disease remains an underdiagnosed and undertreated disease. And there often is a disconnect between the patient who has a fracture and someone recognizing that there may well be an underlying disease or problem - namely osteoporosis - that has led to the increased risk for fracture and a fracture occurring. |br /||br /|In this episode of Physician's Weekly, Peter Hofland, Ph.D. talks with Andrea Singer, MD, FACP, CCD, is the Chief Medical officer of the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) about osteoporosis and the results of a recently published report that provides national and state-level insights into the economic and health impact of osteoporotic fractures on Medicare Fee for Service beneficiaries and the Medicare program.

How Osteoporosis Could Affect the Way You Practice. Osteoporosis is a condition that can strike even the most health-conscious and vibrant of your patients. Here is what you need to know about the condition.. Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become thin and less dense over time; as bone mineral density is reduced, the amount and variety of proteins in bone changes and the bone micro-architecture is disrupted.1 In osteoporosis, the bone loss is severe, causing even the normal stress that occurs during sitting, standing, or even coughing to cause unexpected fractures. As a result, it is not uncommon for someone with osteoporosis to struggle with chronic pain, immobility, disability, loss of independence, and a lower quality of life.2,3. What Are the Symptoms?. Osteoporosis occurs stealthily over several years with no visible signs. Often, the first sign of osteoporosis is a painful fracture that needs medical care. The bones most susceptible to fracture are the spine, hip, rib, or ...

SP0092 Osteoporosis. Whom, When and How to Treat | Annals of the Rheumatic DiseasesSP0092 Osteoporosis. Whom, When and How to Treat | Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases
The evaluation and treatment of osteoporosis differ depending on several conditions such as the associated risk factors for the development of osteoporosis and fragility fractures, gender, age and menopausal status of the individual, and the presence of other secondary associated processes, among others. In addition, some types of secondary osteoporosis, such as glucocorticoid induced osteoporosis, present fractures with relatively higher bone mineral density values, whereas other metabolic bone diseases, such as osteomalacia, can easly be misdiagnosed with this condition. All these data should be taken into account when evaluating the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. Besides general measures, the pharmacological management of osteoporosis, including the type of antiosteoporotic drug, administration route, optimal treatment duration and monitoring, depend on the characteristics of the patient, the fracture risk and the type of treatment. Thus, whereas bisphosphonates are commonly used ...

Competing with OsteoporosisCompeting with Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is severely impaired bone strength resulting in skeletal fragility. This stage of compromised bone health increases the risk of potentially life-threatening bone fractures from falls. Statistics released by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality indicate that one in five women who break a hip will die within a year. In the most severe cases of osteoporosis, bones are so brittle, even a sneeze can break a rib.. Masters swimmers can reduce osteoporosis risk by complementing swim workouts with weight-bearing activities, such as brisk walking and weight training. Individuals already diagnosed with osteoporosis should use caution at the pool to avoid impact and fall-related injuries.. The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends that people with compromised bone health avoid forward bending from the waist and twisting the spine to the point of strain. Diving off the blocks is one example of a potentially hazardous forward flexion activity.. For this reason, swimmers with ...

Calcium Supplements and OsteoporosisCalcium Supplements and Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a major health threat in the United States, particularly among people older than 50 years of age. Estimates indicate that 10 million Americans have osteoporosis, and another 34 million are at risk of developing osteoporosis due to low bone mass. Although women are more at risk of developing the condition (80% of patients with osteoporosis are women), all people older than 50 should be concerned about prevention, because studies indicate that 55% of Americans older than 40 exhibit signs of low bone mass. The best way to fight osteoporosis is with early intervention - ideally in the form of a calcium-rich diet and weightbearing exercise. Men younger than 65 and premenopausal women should be getting 1000 mg of calcium a day, and men and women aged 65 and older should be getting a daily dose of 1500 mg. The problem is that most people do not consume a diet of the dairy products, leafy green vegetables, fish, and tofu that delivers adequate levels of calcium. Thus, many patients are ...

Asian American Health Initiative - Osteoporosis Education and Screening ProgramAsian American Health Initiative - Osteoporosis Education and Screening Program
Osteoporosis is a major public health threat for an estimated 44 million Americans, or 55 percent of the people 50 years of age and older. In the U.S., 10 million individuals are estimated to already have the disease and almost 34 million are estimated to have low bone mass, placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis. By the year 2010, it is estimated that over 52 million women and men in this same age category will be affected, and if current trends continue, the figure will climb up to over 61 million by 2020 according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation.. Being Asian is a risk factor for osteoporosis. Having a thin, small boned frame (or low bone mass), low physical activity and low calcium intake also are risk factors. As much as 90% of Asian Americans may be lactose intolerant, therefore obtaining calcium from dairy products proves problematic. As a result of osteoporosis, vertebral or spinal fracture occurrence is high among Asian American women.. ...

BMD Testing for Postmenopausal Women - NYSOPEP | Osteoporosis Nutrition, Exercise, Bone DensityBMD Testing for Postmenopausal Women - NYSOPEP | Osteoporosis Nutrition, Exercise, Bone Density
It is important to speak to your healthcare provider to find out when a BMD test is appropriate for you. Your healthcare provider will consider your risk factors for osteoporosis (such as your age, medical history including your history of broken bones, your parental history of osteoporosis and/or fracture, and more) when deciding on the right time for you to have a BMD test.. The NYSOPEP Osteoporosis Risk Assessment for Postmenopausal Women is a tool that you can use to identify your personal risk factors for osteoporosis. The completed assessment should be discussed with your healthcare provider. The tool can be used to empower your discussion with your healthcare provider about how to reduce your risks for osteoporosis and help your healthcare provider decide when a BMD test is right for you. Although risk factors may increase your likelihood of getting osteoporosis, having risk factors does not mean that you have or will get the disease. A BMD test is the only way to diagnose ...

mental health | Baby Boom Icon Sally Field Takes On Osteoporosis
If youre nearing 60, you have some pretty good company. Actress Sally Field, the seemingly ageless icon of a Baby Boom generation that starts turning 60 this year, has revealed that she has osteoporosis and is leading a public action campaign to inspire women to fight the fragile bone disease. Surprised by her recent diagnosis of osteoporosis, Field chose to go public with her personal health and is launching Rally With Sally For Bone HealthSM, sponsored by Roche and GlaxoSmithKline. The campaign encourages women with osteoporosis to protect themselves against fractures so they can remain active and reduce their risk of a debilitating injury.. Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become weaker, more brittle and susceptible to fractures. One in two women over age 50 will suffer an osteoporosis-related fracture in her lifetime, which can result in significant pain and loss of height and may possibly cause some women to lose their ability to dress themselves, stand up and even walk. It can ...
