Homepage About the NOS What is Osteoporosis Groups ... Contact Details Osteoporosis literally means 'porous bones'. The bones in our skeleton are made of a thick outer shell and a strong inner mesh filled with collagen (protein), calcium salts and other minerals. The inside looks like honeycomb, with blood vessels and bone marrow in the spaces between bone. Osteoporosis occurs when the holes between bone become bigger, making it fragile and liable to break easily. Osteoporosis usually affects the whole skeleton but it most commonly causes breaks (fractures) to bone in the wrist, spine and hip. Bone is alive and constantly changing. Old, worn out bone is broken down by cells called osteoclasts and replaced by bone building cells, called osteoblasts. This process of renewal is called bone turnover. Strong, dense bone Fragile, osteoporotic bone Facts and figures 1 in 3 women and 1 in 12 men in the UK will have osteoporosis over the age of 50 Every 3 minutes someone has a fracture due to osteoporosis An estimated 3 million people in the UK suffer from osteoporosis Each year the numbers of people with osteoporosis include over 70,000 hip fractures

Sign ACSH Guestbook Osteoporosis This report was prepared by Agnes Heinz, Ph.D., a former Director of Nutrition and Biochemistry with the American Council on Science and Health. Complete Text: Download Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by substantial bone loss. When the extent of bone loss reaches a critical point fractures may occur as a result of very minor stress. Osteoporosis affects the entire skeleton, but fractures occur most notably in the vertebrae, hips and wrists.The bones become so weak that normal workloads overcome their capacity. A simple fall can result in a broken hip. Spinal vertebrae can collapse and in extreme cases cause a "dowager's hump." Gradual weakening or thinning out of bones occurs normally with age. The longer we live, the less bone mass we have and the more prone we are to fractures. Scientists do not know what causes osteoporosis. They do know a lot about factors which can worsen or lessen the extent of bone loss. Osteoporosis is a very complex disease where many different factors influence the rate of bone loss. Advanced age and being a postmenopausal white female are the predominant risk factors. Advanced age and being a postmenopausal white female are the predominant risk factors. Other risk factors include hormonal imbalance, nutrient deficiencies (particularly calcium) and immobility. The role of dietary calcium in the prevention or treatment of osteoporosis is not clear. Calcium may ameliorate or prevent only bone loss directly related to calcium deficiency, but not bone loss due to other causes. Calcium deficiency, however, is common in women. Most bone loss is influenced by hormonal deficiencies.

Feedback Osteoporosis is a rheumatological disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break. If not prevented or if left untreated, osteoporosis can progress painlessly until a bone breaks. These broken bones, also known as fractures, occur typically in the hip, spine, and wrist. CORE was founded to increase public awareness of the prevalence of osteoporosis, arthritis, and other rheumatological disorders. CORE serves as an outreach program in the Greater Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky region.

Learn About Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is the medical term for a condition characterized by bone fragility, pain, fracture, disability, and death associated with fracture complications. Often people tend to think of osteoporosis as an issue of women's health; however, this is not an exclusively female condition. An estimated 40% of the 25 million affected Americans are men (Marchigiano, Sept./Oct. 1999). Research continues in the quest for an osteoporosis cure. Groups such as the National Osteoporosis Foundation and the International Osteoporosis Foundation serve as fundraisers to aid in financing research, and disseminating the information discovered by researchers. For this site, information on the latest research is grouped into 3 categories: nutrition exercise and treatments Research Qualified physicians and professionals, whose work is overseen by an institutional review board in U.S. institutions, perform the research. This board ensures that the studies are done with full informed consent of the patients, and that information gathered is precise and specific. The institutional review boards report to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and this is how the research is processed for federal approval. Among the several types of research, we will focus on those that test a potential treatment for osteoporosis. Research findings on a potential osteoporosis cure are presented to reputable professional journals. Qualified peers of the researchers review the findings to confirm the validity of the research and the reliability of the results for use in projecting treatment options for clients. The reports are confirmed for publication only if the findings pass this peer review.

Osteoporosis Return to the tutorial menu. General Features 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
