Prevention of osteoporosis and Fractures. osteoporosis and low bone density aresignificant risk factors for morbidity and mortality in older adults.

Extractions: Advanced Search O steoporosis and low bone density are significant risk factors for morbidity and mortality in older adults. These conditions are characterized by poor bone strength and are associated with an increased risk of fractures from even slightly traumatic events, such as falls from standing height or lower. Vertebral fractures are the hallmark of osteoporosis, but hip, Colles' and other fractures are also common. Low bone density may be a silent condition until a complication occurs. Increased attention is being given to the early diagnosis and treatment of low bone density as well as the prevention of fractures. Several medications have recently been labeled for the treatment of osteoporosis, but their marginal benefits require careful consideration of their cost. Osteoporosis and Osteopenia As commonly defined, osteoporosis is a condition in which bone mineral density is 2.5 standard deviations below the average bone density in gender-matched young adults. Osteopenia is a less advanced state of low bone mineral density. The risk of fracture increases two to three times for every 10 percent drop in bone density. Patients with low bone mineral density and multiple risk factors for falling are 27 times more likely to sustain an osteoporotic fracture.

Extractions: Order Print Copies Osteoporosis: The Bone Thief Helen grew up on a farm in the Midwest. She drank lots of milk as a child. She also walked a lot, but not after high school. That was when she became a secretary in a local law office. Then she never found time to exercise. Helen went through menopause at age 47. At age 61, she was looking forward to retirement traveling and working in her garden. But then she slipped on a small rug in her kitchen and broke her hip. After Helen recovered, getting around was a lot more difficult she needed a cane to walk. Helen had osteoporosis, but she didnt know it. Osteoporosis is a disease that thins and weakens bones to the point where they break easily especially bones in the hip, backbone (spine), and wrist. Osteoporosis is called the silent disease you may not notice any changes until a bone breaks. But your bones have been losing strength over many years. Bone is living tissue. To keep bones strong, the body is always breaking down old bone and replacing it with new tissue. As people enter their forties and fifties, more bone is broken down than is replaced. A close look at the inside of bone would show something that looks like a honeycomb. When you have osteoporosis, the spaces in this honeycomb grow larger. The outer shell of your bones also gets thinner. All this makes your bones weaker.

Extractions: index search health books site map Osteoporosis is a disorder where the bones become weakened by loss of substance (osteopenia), leading to an increased risk of broken bones (fractures) with minimal trauma. The thinning of the bones does not, in itself, cause much in the way of symptoms. It does, however, lead to a risk of broken bones without much of an injury. In fact the bones of the spine can sometimes collapse without any obvious cause. When the bones are significantly thinned (low in bone mass) people who fall are more likely to break their wrist, hip, or other bones. A cough or a sneeze is more likely to cause a fracture of a rib or the partial collapse of one of the bones of the spine (vertebra). Any bone is more at risk with osteoporosis. Osteoporosis affects people in a number of ways: Pain . The broken bones (fractures), which can happen without any obvious cause, can lead to severe pain, which lasts for quite a number of weeks. Financial . People (especially the elderly) who develop a fracture become more dependent on others to look after them. It may result in an independent person needing long term support at home, or even having to go into a nursing home. Mortality . With a 20% increase in mortality in the first year after a broken hip, the mortality is greater than that of cancer of the neck of the womb (cervix).
Conditions Men Get, Too
Discusses osteoporosis, breast cancer, and eating disorders as conditions that occur in men, although they are typically thought of as women's diseases.

Extractions: Subscribe now >> Seymour Kramer noticed a patch of what looked like blood on his pajama top three years ago and thought he had cut himself. But he wasn't scratched. His doctor tested the discharge and told the New Jersey man he had breast cancer. Dan, 70, a retired Michigan engineer who asked that his last name not be used, was pulling weeds three years ago. For no apparent reason, he fractured two vertebrae. Doctors told him his bones were wasting away. He has osteoporosis. As a teenager, Gary Grahl was obsessed with having a trim, "athletic" body. The Wisconsin resident shunned food and exercised excessively. Sometimes he'd do sit-ups and pushups for three hours before school. He ate little and shrank from 160 to an unhealthy 104 pounds. Over a six-year period, he was hospitalized four times. Grahl says he is now "completely recovered" from his eating disorder. They Aren't Just 'Women's Diseases' What do these men have in common? They all suffer from illnesses typically thought of as "women's diseases." Breast cancer, osteoporosis and eating disorders all occur in men, too, though their prevalence is much greater in the female population. As a result, many men, unaware that the diseases affect both sexes, may fail to recognize symptoms. Likewise, doctors and families often don't suspect these illnesses. This can delay therapy and make disorders difficult to treat.

Metabolism of isoflavones Isoflavones books ... Links The role of isoflavones is widely appreciated and is currently the subject of intense research. Isoflavones appear to protect against hormone-related disorders such as breast cancer. Isoflavones do this by competing with body's own estrogen for the same receptor sites on cells. Some of the risks of excess estrogen can be lowered in this way. The best way to consume isoflavones is in the form soy, so you can benefit from other healthy components of soy. Soy contains many isoflavones, but the most beneficial are genistein and daidzein. The highest amounts of isoflavones can be found in soy nuts and tempeh. Isoflavones are fairly stable. Under normal cooking methods isoflavones are not destroyed. Research in several areas of healthcare has shown that consumption of isoflavones may play a role in lowering risk for disease. Isoflavones can fight disease on several fronts. The following potential health benefits are attributed to isoflavones:
