It’s a very common condition. Osteoporosis is diagnosed more than three million times a year. But with no symptoms people often never realize they have it until they have a fall. Health experts say calcium, vitamin D, and walking are some of the things people need to incorporate into their lifestyle to help prevent osteoporosis.. Dr. Matthew Shlapack, an endocrinologist at Lee Memorial Health System, says those with osteoporosis are at a higher risk for having a fracture. “Osteoporosis is a weakening of the bones to the point that they’re not as strong as they need to be to resist breaking. They’re walking around like a vase on the end of a table and any minute if it falls off it could break.”. While the exact cause is unclear, health experts say the condition is linked to aging and is often found in people over the age of 50. “As we get older, especially in women after menopause and older men when their testosterone levels go down, the estrogen levels decline. We know that the estrogen levels are really, really, important to maintaining bone health,” said Dr. Shlapack.. Health experts say there are a number of risk factors that can also lead to osteoporosis like smoking, excessive alcohol, steroids, and family history.. “For the most part this is a silent disease. We wish it had symptoms because often patients don’t know they have it until they have one of these catastrophic falls,” said Dr. Shlapack. He says screening for osteoporosis is strongly recommended for people over the age of 50. “The screening interval for men usually begins at age 70 and for women at age 65. It begins after 50 for both men and women if they have any of those risk factors.”. There are several successful treatments available for people living with osteoporosis. “We have treatments that not only make the bones stronger but they dramatically reduce the risk of fracture,” said Dr. Shlapack.. Bone mass starts to decrease after the age of 35, which is why it’s important for people to maintain a healthy diet and an active lifestyle as they age..

Susan Cross was leaving nothing to chance when she had a bone density scan to screen for osteoporosis.. “It was sort of like an MRI, they just scan you. There’s no pain; doesn’t take really that long. There’s no preparation.”. The test showed she had osteopenia, which is a related disorder.. “Once you have a bone density test done, if you do have what we call osteopenia where you’re starting to lose calcium out of your bones, or you’ve lost sufficient calcium out of your bones so now we call it osteoporosis,” says Dr. David Heligman, an orthopedic surgeon on the medical staff of Lee Memorial Health System.. Bones naturally become thinner as people grow older. Beginning in middle age, existing bone cells are reabsorbed by the body faster than new bone is made.. Osteopenia affects about half of Americans over the age of 50. Women are far more likely to have it because bone loss speeds up as hormones change.. “When women enter the post menopausal phase in their life, usually after 50, their estrogen levels decrease and that causes absorption of calcium and vitamin D to decrease in the sense that the amount of calcium in the bones is decreasing and the bones are getting weaker,” says Dr. Heligman.. The term ‘osteopenia’ may sound intimidating but is simply treated with calcium supplements.. “In terms of the amount of calcium you need, you need 1000 milligrams of calcium a day and you can either take like Oscale or Caltrate or any of those usually two pills a day,” says Dr. Heligman.. Osteopenia is considered by many doctors to be a precursor to the more serious osteoporosis. Patients can lower their risk of more damaging bone loss by adopting healthier habits.. “I haven’t had any problems or weaknesses, like I said I go to the gym three days a week,” says Cross.. It is worth the effort for Susan to keep her body and bones strong.. View More Health Matters video segments at leememorial.org/healthmatters/.

A bone density test measures a person’s bone mass and is used to detect osteoporosis, a condition that affects more than 10 million people in the U.S., according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Jessica Francois, ARNP, a nurse practitioner at Bethesda Women’s Health Center in Palm Beach County, Fla., explains who’s at risk of osteoporosis and how the bone density tests works to detect it..

Bone density test, or DEXA scan (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry) is the exam for diagnosing osteoporosis, says Dr. Deepa Sharma, Family Medicine Physician with Baptist Health Primary Care.. The specialist explains it’s a painless and not invasive test, similar to X ray, and it can help to determinate the bone density status. No preparation, intravenous medication or sedation is required and the exam takes about 20 minutes.. . The doctor advises doing the test for women over 65 and for men over 70 and also, she is in favor of the heel scan.
A bone density test is the best way to find out if you have osteoporosis.. Dr. Bart Clarke is a Mayo Clinic endocrinologist. He says if you’ve never had a fracture, screening guidelines call for your first bone density test at age 65 for women and 70 for men.. Dr. Clarke says if your bone density is normal, your next test won’t be for another five or 10 years. But if the test shows signs of osteoporosis, you should have it done annually..

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that all women age 65 and older should have a bone density test. Postmenopausal women who are younger than age 65 and at increased risk of osteoporosis – as determined by a formal clinical risk assessment tool –.
The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends the test if you meet any of the following: You’re a woman 65 or older You’re a postmenopausal woman 50 or older. The main risk factor for osteopenia is older age. Your bone density peaks at age 35, and after that, it can lessen as you get older. In many cases, osteopenia can lead to osteoporosis, so if.

Bone loss and osteoporosis develop so slowly in most women whose bones test normal at age 65, they suggest many can safely wait as long as 15 years before having a second bone density test (Gourlay et al., 2012).
Testing for osteoporosis is recommended for persons over 50 years with at least one major risk factor or two or more minor risk factors and for all women and men over 65 years of age (Osteoporosis Canada, 2008).
The NOF’s guide for physicians suggests a bone density test for every woman age 65 years and older.262 Additionally, the NOF has recommended testing for postmenopausal women younger than age 65 years who have sustained a bone fracture in adulthood, have a family history of osteoporosis, are thin, or smoke.
The Phase III studies evaluating antifracture efficacy should enroll women who are at least 60 years of age, at least 5 years postmenopausal, and with either at least one osteoporosis-related fracture or a BMD T-score below −2.
from Osteoporosis by Robert Marcus, David Feldman, et. al. Elsevier Science, 2007
Physicians should recommend bone mineral density testing to younger women at risk and postmenopausal women younger than 65 years who have risk factors for osteoporosis other than being postmenopausal.
Osteoporosis Canada reiterated that bone density testing was appropriate for all women age 65 and older and for targeted case finding among women under the age of 65 (19).
Gilanz et al.18 subsequently reported on 20 adolescent patients 12 to 18 years of age with Scheuermann kyphosis and could demonstrate no evidence of osteoporosis (as assessed by quantitative CT).
Bone mineral density (BMD) testing should be done for older menopausal women and younger menopausal women with risk factors if an intervention to prevent osteoporosis would be instituted as a result (27).

Bone mineral density (BMD) testing starting at age 19 when risk factors are present: long term polypharmacy, especially anti-psychotic and anti-seizure medications; mobility impairments; hypothyroid; post-menopausal women.
In 2004, the International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) (22) published guidelines for the diagnosis of osteoporosis in individuals less than 20 years of age.

I think it was important to this report to wait for the four months for the patients bone scan results so that those of us with osteopenia would know if the Prolia injections actually helped. What a letdown!
Extremely helpful video on osteoporosis. Planet Ayurveda’s Coral Calcium Complex Capsules are very effective in treating osteoporosis as these capsules provide calcium naturally. The ingredients used in these capsules are completely natural.
There is a raging debate in the trt community about the dangers of blocking estrogen. Medication such as Anastrozole may or may not cause a loss of bone density over time. What is your professional opinion on blocking estrogen and bone density? Does estrogen help bone density or hurt it?
Its surprising how people have not heard of naturekindness.com Many of my friends have had a good result using them. Also, they used to do cardio 3 times a week + a good diet.
My girl used naturekindness.com for sometime and it really helped her lose some inches. She also used to run every morning for 30-40mins. Never seen her being so confident. Really proud of her.
I will be a doctor at a tender age because you things about diseases,pathogens,syndroms and life threatening things but please post a video about SSPE pls
DO not try to scientifically analyze osteoporosis its too complicated just know that weight bearing exercise will build up your bones skip the dangerous drugs get a weight vest for osteoporosis by nyk see nykweightvest online to order and start getting strong bone in less than a yr
Its more than calcium. And see Dr Pam Popper on Calcium bunk. $$$$xxxxx!!!! Get calcium from seseme seeds. And Euccomia bark from china strengthens bones as martial artists break boards. Note that many with normal bone density have more breaks than some with low??????Go mediteranian diet 95% vegan n lots a beans etc,,,,,
damn I think I have Osteo-Porosis but im only 35 who exercises regularly I can feel my bone thinning at my shin lvl ; I feel lots of dull-achy pain I think Ill go the calcium plan and not strain myself too much

In the whole video the discussion proceeded ridiculously on female debacle. Does anyone know it is also a ubiquitous problem for men also?
Is it true that estrogen increases the peak bone weight?
But, I read that estrogen decreases the count of oestoblast in the bone!!!
