OSTEOPEROSIS

Bones

QuestionAnswer
WHAT IS OSTEOPOROSIS DECREASE IN BONE MASS
WHAT LEAD TO THIS THE RATE OF BONE REABSORPTION IS GREATER THAN BONE DEPOSITION
IN OSTEOPOROSIS WHAT OCCURS WITH COMPACT BONES THEY BECOME THINNER
WHAT OCCURS IN SPONGY BONES TRABACULAE DECREASE
HOW DOES IT AFFECT THE SKELETON , ESPECIALLY THE VERTEBRAE AND FEMUR HEAD BECOMES MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FRACTURES
WHO DOES OSTEOPOROOSIS AFFECT MOSTLY WOMEN AFTER MENOPAUSE
AT WHAT AGE AND WHAT PERCENT 80 YEARS & 70%
WHY AT THIS AGE AND SUCH A HIGH RATE BECAUSE OF A DECREASE IN ESTROGEN
WHAT DOES ESTROGEN DO FRO BONES IT HELPS MAINTAIN BONE DENSITY AND STABILITY
WHAT OTHER FACTORS CONTRIBUTES TO OSTEOPOROSIS 1. BUILT 2. WEIGHT 3. SMORKING 4. CALIUM DEFICIENCY IN DIET 5. VITIMIN D DEFICIENCY 6. LACK OF EXERCISE 7.DRUGS & ALCOHOL
BUILT SHORT INDIVIDUALS HAVE LESS TOTAL BONE MASS
WEIGHT THIN INDIVIDUALS MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO OSTEOPOROSIS
WEIGHT HEAVY INDIVIDUALS LESS SUSCEPTIBLE TO OSTEOPOROSIS
WHY ARE HEAVIER INDIVIDUALS LESS SUSCEPITBLE TO OSTEOPOROSIS THAN THIN INDIVIDUALS BECAUSE ADIPOSE PRODUCES A FORM OF ESTROGEN
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE ESTROGEN THAT ADIPOSE PRODUCES ESTRONE
HOW DOES SMOKING CAUSE AN ONSET OF OSTEOPOROSIS IT DECREASES BLOOD ESTROGEN LEVELS
VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY IN DIET LEADS TO DECREASE IN CALCIUM ABSORPTION
IS CALCIUM IMPORTANT TO BONE FORMATION YES
WHY DOES A LACK OF EXERCISE LEADS TO OSTEOPOROSIS STRESS ON SKELETON
TREATMENTS FOR OSTEOPOROSIS 1. ESTROGEN REPLACEMENT 2. VITIMIN D & CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT 3. CALCITONIN 4. INCREASE EXERSISE
WHAT ARE THE RISK WITH ESTROGEN REPLACEMENT THERAPY IMPLICATED IN INCREASEW RISK OF HEART ATTACT, STROKE AND BREAST CANCER
WHAT DOES CALCITONIN CAUSE IT SUPPRESSES OSTEOCLASTS & SLOWS BONE LOSS
WHAT DOES INCREASE EXERCISE TO FOR THE BONES IMPROVES BONE DENSITY AND PROMOTE BONE HEALTH
