Dear Dr. Hitesh,

 

Namaste.

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Medical Background:

 

According to the National Institutes of Health

Osteoporosis and Related Bone Diseases, National

Resource Center:

 

Osteoporosis, or porous bone, is a disease

characterized by low bone mass and structural

deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone

fragility and an increased susceptibility to fractures

of the hip, spine, and wrist.

 

Men as well as women suffer from osteoporosis, a

disease that can be prevented and treated.

Osteoporosis can strike at any age.

 

Bone is living, growing tissue. It is made mostly of

collagen, a protein that provides a soft framework,

and calcium phosphate, a mineral that adds strength

and hardens the framework. This combination of

collagen and calcium makes bone strong yet flexible to

withstand stress. More than 99% of the body's calcium

is contained in the bones and teeth. The remaining 1%

is found in the blood.

 

Throughout our lifetime, old bone is removed

(resorption) and new bone is added to the skeleton

(formation). During childhood and teenage years, new

bone is added faster than old bone is removed. As a

result, bones become larger, heavier, and denser. Bone

formation continues at a pace faster than resorption

until peak bone mass (maximum bone density and

strength) is reached around age 30. After age 30, bone

resorption slowly begins to exceed bone formation.

Bone loss is most rapid in the first few years after

menopause but persists into the postmenopausal years.

Osteoporosis develops when bone resorption occurs too

quickly or if replacement occurs too slowly.

Osteoporosis is more likely to develop if you did not

reach optimal bone mass during your bone building

years.

 

Risk Factors. Certain factors are linked to the

development of osteoporosis or contribute to an

individual's likelihood of developing the disease.

These are called " risk factors. " Many people with

osteoporosis have several of these risk factors, but

others who develop osteoporosis have no identified

risk factors. There are some risk factors that you

cannot change, and others that you can.

 

Risk factors you cannot change:

Gender - Your chances of developing osteoporosis are

greater if you are a woman. Women have less bone

tissue and lose bone more rapidly than men because of

the changes involved in menopause.

 

Age - the older you are, the greater your risk of

osteoporosis. Your bones become less dense and weaker

as you age.

 

Body size - Small, thin-boned women are at greater

risk.

 

Ethnicity - Caucasian and Asian women are at highest

risk. African-American and Latino women have a lower

but significant risk.

 

Family history - Susceptibility to fracture may be, in

part, hereditary. People whose parents have a history

of fractures also seem to have reduced bone mass and

may be at risk for fractures.

 

Risk factors you can change:

 

- Sex hormones: abnormal absence of menstrual periods

(amenorrhea), low estrogen level (menopause), and low

testosterone level in men.

- Anorexia.

- A lifetime diet low in calcium and vitamin D.

- Use of certain medications, such as glucocorticoids

or some anticonvulsants.

- An inactive lifestyle or extended bed rest.

- Cigarette smoking.

- Excessive use of alcohol.

 

Prevention: To reach optimal peak bone mass and

continue building new bone tissue as you get older,

there are several factors you should consider:

 

Calcium. An inadequate supply of calcium over the

lifetime is thought to play a significant role in

contributing to the development of osteoporosis. Many

published studies show that low calcium intakes appear

to be associated with low bone mass, rapid bone loss,

and high fracture rates. National nutrition surveys

have shown that many people consume less than half the

amount of calcium recommended to build and maintain

healthy bones. Good sources of calcium include low fat

dairy products, such as milk, yogurt, cheese and ice

cream; dark green, leafy vegetables, such as broccoli,

collard greens, bok choy and spinach; sardines and

salmon with bones; tofu; almonds; and foods fortified

with calcium, such as orange juice, cereals and

breads. Depending upon how much calcium you get each

day from food, you may need to take a calcium

supplement.

 

Calcium needs change during one's lifetime. The body's

demand for calcium is greater during childhood and

adolescence, when the skeleton is growing rapidly, and

during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Postmenopausal

women and older men also need to consume more calcium.

This may be caused by inadequate amounts of vitamin D,

which is necessary for intestinal absorption of

calcium. Also, as you age, your body becomes less

efficient at absorbing calcium and other nutrients.

Older adults also are more likely to have chronic

medical problems and to use medications that may

impair calcium absorption.

 

Vitamin D. Vitamin D plays an important role in

calcium absorption and in bone health. It is

synthesized in the skin through exposure to sunlight.

While many people are able to obtain enough vitamin D

naturally, studies show that vitamin D production

decreases in the elderly, in people who are

housebound, and during the winter. These individuals

may require vitamin D supplementation to ensure a

daily intake of between 400 to 800 IU of vitamin D.

Massive doses are not recommended.

 

Exercise. Like muscle, bone is living tissue that

responds to exercise by becoming stronger. The best

exercise for your bones is weight-bearing exercise,

that forces you to work against gravity. These

exercises include walking, hiking, jogging,

stair-climbing, weight training, tennis, and dancing.

 

Smoking. Smoking is bad for your bones as well as for

your heart and lungs. Women who smoke have lower

levels of estrogen compared to nonsmokers and

frequently go through menopause earlier.

Postmenopausal women who smoke may require higher

doses of hormone replacement therapy and may have more

side effects. Smokers also may absorb less calcium

from their diets.

 

Alcohol. Regular consumption of 2 to 3 ounces a day of

alcohol may be damaging to the skeleton, even in young

women and men. Those who drink heavily are more prone

to bone loss and fractures, both because of poor

nutrition as well as increased risk of falling.

 

Medications that cause bone loss. The long-term use of

glucocorticoids (medications prescribed for a wide

range of diseases, including arthritis, asthma,

Crohn's disease, lupus, and other diseases of the

lungs, kidneys, and liver) can lead to a loss of bone

density and fractures. Other forms of drug therapy

that can cause bone loss include long-term treatment

with certain antiseizure drugs, such as phenytoin

(Dilantin®) and barbiturates; gonadotropin releasing

hormone (GnRH) analogs used to treat endometriosis;

excessive use of aluminum-containing antacids; certain

cancer treatments; and excessive thyroid hormone. It

is important to discuss the use of these drugs with

your physician, and not to stop or alter your

medication dose on your own.

 

Prevention Medications. Various medications are

available for the prevention, as well astreatment, of

osteoporosis. See section entitled " Therapeutic

Medications. "

 

Symptoms. Osteoporosis is often called the " silent

disease " because bone loss occurs without symptoms.

People may not know that they have osteoporosis until

their bones become so weak that a sudden strain, bump,

or fall causes a hip fracture or a vertebra to

collapse. Collapsed vertebra may initially be felt or

seen in the form of severe back pain, loss of height,

or spinal deformities such as kyphosis, or severely

stooped posture.
