    osteoporosis. osteoporosis or softening of the bones is a major healthproblem affecting over 20 million Americans. CAUSES OF osteoporosis.  
    http://www.cory.com/drstaub/osteoporosis.htm
    
    Extractions: Osteoporosis or "softening of the bones" is a major health problem - affecting over 20 million Americans. This condition, which, results in loss of bone density, afflicts half of all women over the age of fifty and one - third of men over the age of seventy - five . The risk of breaking a bone increases and , indeed, people with osteoporosis sustain approximately 1.2 million fractures annually in this country. The cost to the nation in medical bills and lost wages is in the billions. of dollars. An understanding of osteoporosis requires knowledge of body metabolism, calcium regulation, hormones and vitamins , and skeletal structure. This can be very complicated and scientific, but I will try to simplify this as much as possible with easy to understand analogies - at the risk of over - simplication. Calcium and Bone We all know that we get calcium from milk and that calcium goes into the bones to make the skeketon strong. In fact, an orthopedist would probably believe that calcium ,the mineral, exists solely to build bones. An endocrinologist or a cardiologist, on the other hand,would perhaps consider the skeleton to exist only to provide calcium to be used for various important bodily functions. Premature bone initially is made up of soft tissue called collagen. Collagen contains cells that form bone - OSTEOBLASTS. When immature bone is laid down by osteoblasts, calcium and another mineral,phosphate, combine to form a crystal - like substance . These calcium crystals are incorporated into the tissue - eventually forming hard , mature bone. Bone formation begins in utero and continues for nearly two decades. Calcium intake is very important during these years of development. Bone mass increases in childhood and peak bone mass is obtained by one's mid - twenties. Peak bone mass refers to the point when a bone will be at its maximum density. Peak bone mass is directly influenced by adequate intake of dietary calcium. Women who take in inadequate dietary calcium will have a lower peak bone mass and thus, a higher risk of deveolping osteoporosis later in life.

    Recommendation by the US Preventive Services Task Force regardinguse of screening for osteoporosis. osteoporosis Screening. The US  
    http://www.ahrq.gov/clinic/3rduspstf/osteoporosis/
    
    Extractions: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that women aged 65 and older be screened routinely for osteoporosis. The USPSTF recommends that routine screening begin at age 60 for women at increased risk for osteoporotic fractures There is good evidence that the risk for osteoporosis and fracture increases with age and other factors; bone density measurements accurately predict the risk for fractures in the short-term; treating asymptomatic women with osteoporosis reduces their risk for fracture. The USPSTF concludes that the benefits of screening and treatment are of at least moderate magnitude for women at increased risk by virtue of age or presence of other risk factors There is insufficient evidence to recommend for or against routine osteoporosis screening in postmenopausal women who are younger than 60 or in women aged 60-64 who are not at increased risk for osteoporotic fractures Return to U.S. Preventive Services Task Force

    osteoporosis. December 2001 WHAT IS osteoporosis? osteoporosis is a diseaseof the skeleton in which bones become brittle and prone to fracture.  
    http://www.reutershealth.com/wellconnected/doc18.html
    
    Extractions: WHAT IS OSTEOPOROSIS? Osteoporosis is a disease of the skeleton in which bones become brittle and prone to fracture. In other words, the bone loses density. Osteoporosis is diagnosed when bone density has decreased to the point where fractures will happen with mild stress. [ For determining this point, see how is Osteoporosis Diagnosed, below Until a healthy person is around 40, the process of breaking down and building up bone by cells called osteoclasts and osteoblasts is a nearly perfectly coupled system, with one phase stimulating the other. [For a brief description of this process see Box The Bones, below .] As a person ages, however, or in the presence of certain conditions, this system breaks down and the two processes become out of sync. The reasons why this occurs during aging are not clear. Some individuals have a very high turnover rate of bone; some have a very gradual turnover, but the breakdown of bone eventually overtakes the build-up.

89. Q & A On Osteoporosis
    osteoporosis. What is osteoporosis? osteoporosis is a preventable and treatabledisease. Are women more affected by osteoporosis than men?  
    http://www.amwa-doc.org/healthtopics/osteoporosis_qa.htm
    
    Extractions: Osteoporosis, which means "porous bones," is a condition of excessive skeletal fragility resulting in weakened bones that are susceptable to fracture. A combination of genetic, dietary, hormonal, age-related, and lifestyle factors all contribute to this condition. Osteoporosis is a preventable and treatable disease. Are women more affected by osteoporosis than men? Overall, approximately 8 million American women have osteoporosis. Women are four times more likely than men to develop osteoporosis because of the loss of estrogen at menopause (estrogen blocks or slows down bone loss). Over half of all women over the age of 65 have osteoporosis. Even though osteoporosis is often thought of as a disease that only affects older people, it can strike at any age. Osteoporosis leads to 1.5 million fractures, or breaks, per year, mostly in the hip, spine and wrist, and costs $14 billion annually. One in two women over the age of 50 will suffer an osteoporosis-related fracture. How would I know if I might have osteoporosis?

    Extractions: C-reactive protein (CRP) is a measurable substance in the blood. Increased levels of this protein indicate acute inflammation. Research studies have shown that high levels of CRP indicate an increased risk of suffering from a heart attack or stroke. This is now believed to be an even stronger risk factor than having elevated cholesterol levels. Click here for complete article. Dustin Hoffman's roles in Kramer vs. Kramer Tootsie and Rain Man , challenged our perceptions of what it is to be a parent, a man and a brother. Now Hoffman is using that same sense of humanity to appeal to California voters to support stem cell research. "My wife Lisa and I became involved with this issue for several reasons," says the two-time Academy Award winner. "Among them is the fact that our daughter's best friend was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when she was 11 years old. Another reason is stem cell research offers the best hope for a cure and should be pursued." Hoffman recently joined in helping the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's first-ever fundraiser to support stem cell research. Hoffman was joined by a who's who list of Hollywood celebrities.

    About SCOI, There has been much recognition of osteoporosis as a women shealth problem, but five million American men are also affected.  
    http://www.scoi.com/osteo.htm
    
    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.

    osteoporosis a gradual weakening of the bones - affects one in threewomen and one in 12 men, and is on the increase among the young.  
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/medical_notes/428878.stm
    
    Extractions: Osteoporosis affects one in three women and one in 12 men, is responsible for 200,000 breaks per year in the UK and 40 deaths a day. 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?

    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."
