Extractions: Search our database by Health Topic or enter your own keywords On July 9, 2002, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) stopped early a major clinical trial of the risks and benefits of combined estrogen and progestin in healthy menopausal women. The trial was stopped due to an increased risk of invasive breast cancer. NWHIC is in the process of up-dating all of our FAQs that discuss hormone therapy (HT), to include findings from this study. For more information on the NHLBI study, go to http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/women/index.htm If you are currently taking HT and have concerns, talk with your health care provider as soon as possible. What is osteoporosis? How is osteoporosis treated? See also... Osteoporosis, which means "porous bones," is a condition of excessive skeletal fragility resulting in weakened bones that break easily. A combination of genetic, dietary, hormonal, age-related, and lifestyle factors all contribute to this condition. Osteoporosis usually progresses painlessly until a fracture occurs, which is usually in the hip, spine, or wrist.
CNN.com - Dr. Sanjay Gupta: Osteoporosis Not For Women Only - Aug. 6, 2003

It's a concern for men, too. CNN Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta spoke Wednesday with CNN's Heidi Collins about the disease that leaves bones weak and brittle. COLLINS: It might surprise you to know that 2 million American men have [osteoporosis] and 12 million more are at risk for it. ... This is kind of a surprise. GUPTA: It is kind of a surprise. Most people think of osteoporosis as a woman's disease. That's clearly not true. In fact, about 20 percent of osteoporosis sufferers are men. Conventional wisdom is that men have larger and bigger bones, and women when they go through menopause actually lose the estrogen, which builds up bones, and they have more problems with osteoporosis. Women outnumber men with regard to osteoporosis, but it is clearly a problem for both. ... ... If you look at the cycle of osteoporosis, [you'll see] that bone growth is something that occurs during the early part of your age. Bones grow in length and density during your youth. And then during the teenage years, they peak in height, and the bones start to grow more dense. They don't grow longer; they just grow more dense.

Extractions: Return to the tutorial menu. Osteoporosis is accelerated bone loss. Normally, there is loss of bone mass with aging, perhaps 0.7% per year in adults. However, bone loss is greater in women past menopause than in men of the same age. The process of bone remodelling from resorption to matrix synthesis to mineralization normally takes about 8 monthsa slow but constant process. Bone in older persons just isn't as efficient as bone in younger persons at maintaining itselfthere is decreased activity of osteoblasts and decreased production of growth factors and bone matrix. This diagram illustrates changes in bone density with aging in women. The normal curve (A) steepens following menopause, but even by old age the risk for fracture is still low. A woman who begins with diminished bone density (B) even before menopause is at great risk, particularly with a more accelerated rate of bone loss. Interventions such as postmenopausal estrogen (with progesterone) therapy, the use of drugs such as the non-hormonal compound alendronate that diminishes osteoclast activity, and the use of diet and exercise regimens can help to slow bone loss (C) but will not stop bone loss completely or restore prior bone density. Diet and exercise have a great benefit in younger women to help build up bone density and provide a greater reserve against bone loss wiht aging. Risk factors for osteoporosis include: Female sex Age > 70 years Caucasian or Asian race Early onset of menopause Longer postmenopausal interval

CNN.com - Campaign Urges Osteoporosis Testing - July 24, 2001
http://cnn.com/2001/HEALTH/conditions/07/24/sixty.now/index.html

Extractions: CNN (CNN) It's a silent disease, so you might not know you have it until you break something your wrist, your hip, maybe even your spine. Osteoporosis affects some 28 million Americans and can be treated. But according to a recent survey, nearly half of older women hadn't even been tested for it. Given those numbers, the National Council on the Aging has launched a national campaign aimed at educating people about the skeletal disease and the importance of testing. "We are trying to spread the word that this is not an inevitable part of aging," said Dr. Ethel Siris, director of the Toni Stabile Osteoporosis Center at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York. "There's a great deal you can do to prevent it, a great deal you can do to treat it." Osteoporosis gradually causes bones to more porous and fragile and is linked to about 1.5 million bone fractures each year. About 80 percent of those who have it are women, mostly 60 and older.

Extractions: WebMD Feature Archive Reviewed By Gary Vogin, MD Medically reviewed by Gary D. Vogin, MD Indeed, the year 2000 was a very good year for wine makers and not just because it brought a bumper crop of cabernets, zinfandels, and chardonnays. Evidence of the far-reaching health benefits of wine continued to pour in from researchers around the world. Here's a review of the good news for wine makers and wine lovers: A Healthier Heart Several reports in 2000 confirmed the glad tidings that wine in moderation, of course reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and heart attacks. In the September issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine , for instance, Swedish researchers at the Karolinska Institute reported that, compared to teetotalers, light drinkers who consumed wine cut their risk of dying prematurely by almost one third, and wine drinkers as a group had significantly lower mortality from cardiovascular disease and cancer. Actually, drinking any kind of alcoholic beverage helped, the scientists found. But by far the biggest benefit accrued to wine drinkers.
