Osteoporosis

Jason 1 Jason Garza Professor Victoria Makar AIS-1203-0R3 2 October 2017 Osteoporosis I decided to write about osteoporosis because it affects a large amount of men and women from their early fifties and up. My major is kinesiology, therefore I am doing a research to learn about how physical inactivity can possibly cause osteoporosis. Osteoporosis, a skeletal disease, is when weakened bone that is not strong enough to perform the daily physical activities of an everyday average person,…

Osteoporosis, associated with the elderly, is a painful condition. Though not life-threatening, it can be debilitating if not treated. Bad posture and broken bones are hard to remedy. If your doctor has diagnosed you with the disease, you will want to know what its causes are. Of course, Osteoporosis symptoms and treatments will be at the top of your mind. Keyzofhealth provides a detailed explanation of the disease. What is osteoporosis? Osteoporosis, translated from Greek, means porous…

One in every two women and one in every five men are at risk of suffering from osteoporosis fracture during their lifetime. According to the site Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention, osteoporosis is a medical condition in which bones become weak and brittle (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2015). Most fractures are seen in the hip, forearm/wrist, and spine which can have a variety of harmful effects. These effects are chronic pain and disability, loss of independence,…

Osteoporosis is a condition where your bones become brittle and bone mass reduces. This disease I'm focusing on is Osteoporosis in female patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammation in the joints that causes destruction and functional disability. In this disease the increase of osteoclast does take place and increases a lot of risks and of course decreases certain physical activity due to bones being fragile. There is a certain medication that they recommend…

Patient Case Report Osteoporosis is a condition commonly affecting the elderly that is characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, resulting in bone fragility and an increased likelihood of fractures (Seriolo et al., 2013). For an aging population, the effects of osteoporosis dramatically increase due to their already decreasing bone mass and fragile structure, as well as their greater risk of falls. Hip, vertebral and wrist fractures are all common…

This letter is to provide you with more information about osteoporosis, calcium and vitamin D. Osteoporosis is a common bone disease that causes progressive loss of bone density. This causes the bones to become thin and weak, which increases the chances of falling. It is recommended to consume foods and/or supplements containing calcium and vitamin D to prevent osteoporosis. Calcium is the mineral that helps strengthen your bones and vitamin D helps calcium be better absorbed in the body. It…

Osteoporosis is becoming more and more common in the present environment of fast food, drugs, and sedentary lifestyles. For example, empty-calorie foods with little nutrients are depleting body systems, such as the skeletal system, of what they really need. The National Osteoporosis Foundation suggests that approximately fifty-four million Americans suffer from this condition, and the numbers are expected to escalate. What can be done to help these individuals get what their body really needs?…

Is there a connection between postmenopausal osteoporosis and periodontal disease? Osteoporosis and periodontal disease are two major health problems of the geriatric population. Periodontal disease is increasing every day, women with postmenopausal osteoporosis have a higher risk for developing this condition. The social and financial costs of tooth loss are very common among this population. “Osteoporosis Affects more than 20 million people and cause nearly two million fractures per year, most…

Osteoporosis So what is osteoporosis? Lets break it down, the word -osteo means bone, while -porosis means deterioration of something. The word together means the deterioration of bones. This usually occurs in older adults or the elderly since their bones are more fragile which could cause significant injuries towards them. The most common injuries from osteoporosis occur in the vertebrates, femur, and hip. In men and women, females are more prone to have osteoporosis in an earlier…

Risk factors o osteoporosis All postmenopausal women and men over 50 years of age must be assessed for the presence of risk factors for osteoporosis (5). The selected key risk factors should aid physicians in identifying those who require further assessment and investigation to determine whether medical intervention is needed to reduce their risk of osteoporotic (fragility) fracture. The main areas of concern are wrist, humerus, ribs, vertebral body, pelvis and hip. When a patient is…
