What is Osteoporosis?
Currently, osteoporosis is not just attack the elderly but also the younger. Patterns of living that is not healthy as one of the suspected trigger it.
Osteoporosis is a disease marked by reduced bone mass and mineral condition causing bones to become brittle, porous and easily broken.
Estimated during the lifetime of women will lose bone mass 35% -50%, while men only 25% -30%.
Women who undergo healthy patterns of living since the age of 0-35 years, have savings of more bone mass than the bone mass that absorbed the body. However, when starting to enter the age of 35 years, the bone mass to become more frequent, while the storage of bone mass remains the same.
At this age, bone density of women shrink 0.5% -1% per year, and the shrink 2% -3% when entering the menopause that lasts for 10 years during the early menopause. But not all women experience menopause is osteoporosis. Bone density, nutritional factors and physical activity are very influential.
Why porous bones can happen?
Bone is an organ that always updates (remodeling). The process of reform begins with the process of absorption bone mass (resorpsi) and resumed the process of charging back in the cleft bone (formation).
As age increased, the process will change. Resorpsi process running without significant excessive formation process followed, a result the bones become thin and brittle.
Feed Lack of calcium and rarely do physical activities can also create density to be low so that the bone osteoporosis occurs.
