Osteoporosis has been around for more than 4000 years it been found on ancient mummies it was common with all the women that lived in that era…

Osteoporosis Osteoporosis can be defined as the weakening of bones in the body. This makes the bones so fragile, that something as simple as a cough or a sneeze can cause a fracture to the bone. The fractures occur most in the wrist, spine, or hip. Osteoporosis can disable a person from daily activities that they are used to doing without the troubles of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis can occur in any person, man or woman, of any race. There are no exceptions or exemptions. Osteoporosis has…

Osteoporosis is very common in the world we live in today. About 54 million Americans are diagnosed with this disease. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that cutbacks bone mass. The bones become very brittle and frail and are unable to support your weight and usually fracture. The bones that are most likely to fracture are your hips, spine, wrist, shoulder and hip. The bones could become so weak that even if you were to cough or bend over they would fracture. As you grow your bones make new bone…

Chelsea Hornyak MED 2047 Osteoporosis Instructor Michelle Earixson-Lamonthe 2/28/15 VNFT031 Osteoporosis is a disease of the bones. The word osteoporosis means “porous bone.” It is a metabolic bone disorder which means that the rate of bone breakdown, which is called resorption, speeds up while the rate of bone formation slows down causing a loss of bone mass. In other words, osteoporosis happens when you lose too much bone, make too little bone, or even both. As a result…

Walaa Awad Dr. Naser Multidisciplinary Approach to Health 8 Osteoporosis is a disease affecting the skeletal system, characterized by low bone mass density, leading to bone fragility and increased risk of fractures. The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined osteoporosis in terms of bone mass that is more than 2.5 SD below the mean for peak bone mass in healthy young adults. In the United States, the number of people age 65 and older is expected to rise from 35 to 86 million between 2000…

Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is the gradual process in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue. They become less dense as tissue is lost and become weak and more prone to fractures. This may be due to a variety of factors and usually occurs during old age. Women are more susceptible to the development of osteoporosis. Women are more susceptible to developing osteoporosis, women are four times more likely to develop osteoporosis in their lifetime. Causes: Low oestrogen in…

Osteoporosis affects both genders and this is a bone disease. It is a condition in which bones become fragile and brittle. It occurs when the body loses a lot of bone, makes little bone, or both. Bones become weak and makes it easy for the bones to break from a fall (What is Osteoporosis and What Causes It). About 68% out of 44 million people at risk for this bone disease are women (Why Osteoporosis is More Common in Women). Osteoporosis is called a silent disease because a person can’t feel…

 Pathophysiology of Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is a condition of skeletal fragility due to progressive loss of bone mass. Losing bone is a normal part of the ageing process, but some people lose bone density much faster than normal. This can lead to osteoporosis and an increased risk of fractures. It occurs in elderly people of both sexes but is most pronounced in postmenopausal women, they lose bone rapidly in the first few years after the menopause (when monthly periods stop and the ovaries…

attachment for skeletal muscles, giving the body shape, and aiding in the formation of red blood cells, white blood cells, and white blood cells, and platelet. In addition, the bones of the skeletal system also store the body’s main supply of calcium. Osteoporosis is a condition that causes the bones to weaken and become fragile due to a lack of calcium in the bones. This condition may lead to a fracture. These fractures happen most commonly in the hip, wrist, or spine. This occurs when the…
