It is often known as a silent illness, because many people do not know they have it until it is too late. Although it is thought of as a disease of old age, latest research suggests its roots lie in adolescence. What is it? Osteoporosis is a weakening of the bones that can lead to breaks which are difficult to heal - hence its alternative name, brittle bone disease. Bones are made up of a thick outer shell with a honeycomb mesh inside. Osteoporosis occurs when the gaps in this honeycomb become bigger making the bone fragile and brittle causing them to break easily. The wrists, hips and spine are particularly at risk. What causes it?

These fractures usually involve the hips, vertebrae, and wrists. - There is no cure for osteoporosis, but treatment helps slow its progression. - Osteoporosis is more common in women than men, but it can occur in both sexes. - The Bone Mineral Density test (BMD) helps determine how strong the bones are. This test is painless, relatively fast and simple. The risk factors for osteoporosis include: - Post-menopausal women, especially if menopause has occurred early in life - Race (Caucasian and Asian) - Low calcium intake - Women age 65 or over - Being under ideal body weight - Low levels of exercise - Fracture after age 40 without significant trauma - X-ray evidence of low bone mass - Glucocorticoids long term (i.e. Prednisone)

"I've lost six inches in height and none of my clothes fit me anymore. Plus, it's hard to get clothes that look nice when my back is so hunched over." "This medication is so darned expensive. But if I want to maintain my independence, I can't afford to let my condition get worse either." "It seemed like it took forever for my bone to heal when it broke. I don't want that to happen again. It's so frustrating always worrying about falling." "If somebody had told me sooner what I know now about osteoporosis, none of this might be happening to me!" SOURCE: Based on comments made by a 70+ year old woman with osteoporosis. Ten million Americans have osteoporosis and another 18 million have low bone mass, placing them at increased risk of osteoporosis, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF). Osteoporosis often is called the "silent disease" because bone loss occurs without symptoms. The first sign of osteoporosis may be a fracture that occurs as a result of a weakened bone. A sudden strain or bump may be all it takes to break a bone.

Key text Pointing the bone at osteoporosis Published by Australian Academy of Science Sponsored by Think this is a disease that only affects old people? The reality may be closer to the bone than you think. Printer-friendly version of complete topic The term osteoporosis literally means holes in the bones. 'Osteo' is derived from the Greek word for bones and 'porosis' is from the Greek word for passage or hole. Many people think it is an old people's disease, being most common in women over 40 (although this is hardly old) and men over 60. Osteoporosis does become more common as people get older. Bone loss is a natural part of ageing, and all human beings would eventually develop the disease if they lived long enough. But young people of either sex shouldn't be complacent. You, too, will one day be long of tooth and thin of hair. And medical scientists say that what we do in our youth may have an important effect on our chances of avoiding the disease. The extent of the problem A major study involving almost 2000 people near Dubbo in New South Wales has provided some insight into the extent of osteoporosis in Australia. It estimated that a staggering 60 per cent of women and 30 per cent of men over the age of 60 suffer from a broken bone due to osteoporosis. Any bone in the body is at risk, but some of the most common breakages occur to the hip, forearm, ribs, spine and legs, and they may occur from incidents as trivial as bumping into a door or tripping over a rug. The direct costs associated with treating osteoporotic fractures in Australia are estimated to total nearly $800 million a year.

Community Latest News The Impact of Osteoporosis on Men and Women's Health Osteoporosis is the medical term for a condition characterized by bone fragility, pain, fracture, disability, and death associated with fracture complications. Often people tend to think of osteoporosis as an issue of women's health; however, it is not an exclusively female condition. Although the condition is more frequent among women, with 1 in 3 women over the age of fifty developing osteoporosis, up to 1 in 12 men will also be affected. Studying nutrition, exercise, dietary supplements and drugs are all integral components in researching an osteoporosis cure. Groups such as the National Osteoporosis Society and the International Osteoporosis Foundation serve as fundraisers to aid in financing research and disseminating the information discovered by researchers. Research: The Quest for an Osteoporosis Cure Involved in the research are qualified doctors, scientists, and health-care professionals, whose work is overseen by an institutional review board. This board ensures that the studies are done with fully informed consent of the volunteers, and that the information gathered is accurate and reproducible.

Mental Health You are in: Bone Health Osteoporosis Overview Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and loss of bone tissue that leads to weak and fragile bones. If you have osteoporosis, you may be at increased risk for bone fractures (broken bones), particularly in the hip, spine, and wrist. Osteoporosis was often thought to be a condition that "frail old ladies" develop. In actuality, the damage from osteoporosis begins much earlier in life. Women especially reach peak bone density in their 30s and must take in enough calcium to build bones that will remain strong later in life. In the United States, nearly 10 million people already have the disease, and 18 million more have low bone mass, which places them at an increased risk for osteoporosis. Women make up 80% of those people. It is predicted that 1 in 2 women and 1 in 8 men older than 50 years will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime.
