Extractions: Publication Date: August 2000 Osteoporosis: Progress and Promise About Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength predisposing to an increased risk of fracture. Bone strength reflects the integration of two main features: bone density and bone quality. Osteoporosis is the most common of the bone diseases that affect Americans. Although it is the underlying cause of most fractures in older people, the condition is silent and undetected in many cases until a fracture occurs. Osteoporosis is a major health risk for 28 million Americans. In the United States today, 10 million individuals already have osteoporosis and 18 million more have low bone mass, placing them at increased risk for this disease. American women are four times more likely to develop osteoporosis than men. One out of every two women and one in eight men over 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in her or his lifetime. Osteoporosis may be attributed to three factors: (1) accelerated bone loss at menopause in women or as men and women age; (2) suboptimal bone growth during childhood and adolescence resulting in failure to reach peak bone mass; and (3) bone loss secondary to disease conditions, eating disorders, or certain medications and medical treatments.

Extractions: Osteoporosis is a silent disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break. Bone loss usually occurs slowly over time. If not prevented or if left untreated, osteoporosis can progress without symptoms until a bone breaks. These broken bones, also known as fractures, occur typically in the hip, spine, and wrist. Any bone can be affected, but of special concern are fractures of the hip and spine. A hip fracture almost always requires hospitalization and major surgery. It can impair a person's ability to walk unassisted and may cause prolonged or permanent disability or even death. Spinal or vertebral fractures also have serious consequences, including loss of height, severe back pain, and deformity.

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

http://www.medbroadcast.com/health_topics/womens_health/osteoporosis/index.shtml

Extractions: Osteoporosis is a condition where loss of bone develops to the point where our bones break easily. It is a serious condition that increases slowly as we age. Generally osteoporosis is asymptomatic-we are unaware that we have it-until there is a fall or injury resulting in a fracture. We all get osteoporosis as we age so it is important that we learn about it and try to do something to slow it down or reverse the process. Common areas of the body where osteoporosis fractures occur: Bone tissue is a rigid, living structure that is constantly renewing itself. It is not an unchanging skeleton made of calcium. Microscopic holes are constantly created by bone eating cells called osteoclasts. Once these bone cavities are created, bone building cells called osteoblasts form new bone. This process rejuvenates the bone and repairs any damage. In early childhood and adolescent years our bones grow rapidly. Good dietary

http://www.womens-health-and-calcium.com/

Extractions: An adequate intake of calcium can help prevent the bone loss associated with osteoporosis, a condition where the structure, or matrix, of bone is no longer as solid or as strong as it should be. The bone matrix is composed of a mineral component that includes both calcium salt and phosphate salt, and an organic component that is largely collagen fibers. The calcium and phosphate salts combine to form the hydroxyapatite crystals that give bone its amazing ability to withstand stress. Collagen is the main protein of skin, tendon, cartilage, bone and connective tissue. It is collagen that provides flexibility to bone. The mineral component makes up most of the mature bone matrix, with the remainder basically comprised of collagen and water.

Extractions: Many Doctors And Medicines Claim To Help Arthritis- Find Out Why They Don't Work More than 70% of all people in the United States currently suffer from some type of arthritis. This is a staggering number that is on the rise. Every year more than 750,000 new people experience the pain and frustration that comes with arthritis. Many people don't know where to turn other than to their primary care physician. Others try using over-the-counter drugs to no avail. These are only temporary solutions that merely stop the pain for a short period of time- never treating the underlying disease. There are more than 100 different types of arthritis. Some types can lead to blindness, deafness, paralysis and even premature death! With so many different types, it is difficult for any doctor to diagnose arthritis properly. Many times they will tell you that you simply have arthritis and to take a common over-the-counter medicine. While these medicines may delay the pain, they do not help it to go away. We would like to show you a way you can get the help you need for your arthritis. That is why we offer a FREE initial evaluation to properly diagnose the problem and offer an effective solution.
