Osteoporosis on Medbroadcast.com

Description: Factual medical information about the condition, including its prevention, diagnosis..., and treatment.Osteoporosis is a bone disease where parts of the bone weaken, increasing the risk of bone fractures. The disorder is especially associated with the aging process though it affects men and women of all ages. Its responsible for a large number of fractures in the elderly, as the weakened bones can no longer support body weight. The disease especially affects women who have reached menopause, although men are also affected. In general, women have 30% less bone mass than men, so theyre more at risk. After menopause, when the hormone estrogen stops being produced by the ovaries, women lose bone mass more quickly. By the age of 65 to 70 years, men and women lose bone at about the same rate. Eating enough calcium and vitamin D and participating in weightbearing exercise are important steps in preventing osteoporosis
