THE KEYTO OSTEOPOROSIS
IS
PREVENTION
Osteoporosis, which
is
the
gradual loss
of
bone calcium
and
density, is one of the changes of
old
age. Osteoporosis can be primary or
secondary. Primary osteoporosis
occurs
in
menopausal women
and
older
men,
whilst others
are secondary to
chronic
kidney
failure,
diabetes,
over-secretion
of
the thyroid gland and
prolonged
use
of steroids,
etc.
With the
female climacteric, oestrogen hormone
may decrease abruptly and osteoporo-
sis
is
common. The male climacteric
is
much more gradual and osteoporosis
sets in at
65-70.
The
symptoms are
bone pain, shortening of stature and a
hunch back. Fracture of the thigh bone
is
more
serious as injury to the
soft
tissues and even considerable
bleed-
ing may
result.
ln China, osteoroportic
fractures affect 3-4 million. ln USA, the
corresponding number for women >45
is
0.6
million;
the
rate
ol
increase of
lracture
neck
of
thigh bone
is
40%
in
10
years
-
the
economic impact
is
tremendous. Osteoporosis
is
best
prevented, as treatment can
hardly
reverse
the
process. Take calcium-rich
food, e.9., milk, milk products, soy bean
products,
prawns,
etc.
Hormone
replacement therapy
for the
meno-
pause
should be directed
by your
doctor. Regular exercise
is
also vital.
