Osteoporosis: Common Ailment
Of Older Women
BY BECKY ELLER
Osteoporosis is more common in
older women than heart attacks,
strokes, diabetes, rheumatoid ar
thritis. or brest cancer. Yet until
recently it has received relatively lit
tle public attention. Osteoporosis is
not really a "disease." but is rather a
contition resulting from prolonged
loss of bone. As the bones weaken,
they become less able to withstand
everyday stress.
Bones have the marvelous capacity
to break down and rebuild
themselves. In fact it is estimated
that adults replace 10-30 percent of
their bone tissue each year through
this "remodeling" process. Up until
adulthood, more bone tissue is added
than is broken down. After adulthood,
however, this pattern is reversed.
Scientists believe that we begin to ex
perience a decline in bone mass in our
early 20s. Women lose bone much
more rapidly than men, and much of
the loss occurs in the five or six years
following menopause. A certain
amount of bone loss is normal and is
probably inevitable. When bone loss
is excessive, however, we are said to
have osteoporosis. This condition can
lead to curvature of the spine and an
increased susceptibility to bone frac
tures.
Osteoporosis can be a serious con
dition. Contrary to popular belief,
scientists now suspect that we may
fall as a result of a weakened bone
which has suddenly broken under
stress. Thus a fracture in some cases
may actually precede a fall. Since
falls are the leading cause of acciden
tal death in elderly white women in
this country, osteoporosis is clearly
being recognized as a major national
health problem. It is estimated that
one but of four post-menopausal
women are affected by this disorder.
Research indicates that certain
persons are at greater risk for
developing osteoporosis. These in
clude white women who are petite
and have a small bone structure; In
dividuals who have other family
members with the condition; and
women who experience early
menopause. Certain diseases, such as
endocrine disorders, diabetes, kidney
disease, and rheumatoid arthritis,
can also increase our risk. Although
men do not tend to lose bone mass as
quickly as women, they are not total
ly immune to osteoporosis.
The good news is that osteoporosis
can often be prevented with moderate
exercise and proper diet.Reguaiar
exercise, such as walking, places
stress on our bones which stimulates
new bone formation. Adequate
calcium intake is also important
since this miner?' is vital for bone
formation. The recommended dosage
of calcium for adult women during
and after menopause is about
1200-1400 milligrams. Most adults get
only about one-third of this amount.
Milk and other dairy products, nuts,
broccoli, and leafy vegetables such as
coliards and turnip greems are all
good sources of calcium. Because of
the fat and cholesterol found in whole
milk, it is advisable to eat low-fat
dairy products. Unless you have pro
blems with kidney stones, you might
also want to consider taking calcium
supplements between meals.
Calcium tablets can be particularly
beneficial when taken with Vitamin D
enriched milk, since Vitamin D helps
our bodies absorb calcium.
Estrogen therapy is sometimes
recommended for women who are in
the high risk category. If you are at
risk for developing osteoporosis or if
it has been determined that you are
already losing bone mass, it is impor
tant that you consult your physician
to determine the appropriate treat
ment. Osteoporosis can be prevented
and in some cases may even be
reversed once bone loss has occurred.
Fragil bones need not be a hindrance
to leading a healthy and active life in
our golden years!
