   Extractions: Osteoporosis, or porous bone, is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and an increased susceptibility to fractures of the hip, spine, and wrist. Men as well as women suffer from osteoporosis, a disease that can be prevented and treated. Facts and Figures Osteoporosis is a major public health threat for 28 million Americans, 80% of whom are women. In the U.S. today, 10 million individuals already have osteoporosis and 18 million more have low bone mass, placing them at increased risk for this disease. One out of every two women and one in eight men over 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime. More than 2 million American men suffer from osteoporosis, and millions more are at risk. Each year, 80,000 men suffer a hip fracture and one-third of these men die within a year. Osteoporosis can strike at any age. Osteoporosis is responsible for more than 1.5 million fractures annually, including 300,000 hip fractures, and approximately 700,000 vertebral fractures, 250,000 wrist fractures, and more than 300,000 fractures at other sites. Estimated national direct expenditures (hospitals and nursing homes) for osteoporosis and related fractures is $14 billion each year.

7. Boning Up On Osteoporosis
   Article by Carolyn J. Strange examining some things will help to lessen the effects of osteoporosis, and reduce its severity.  
   http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/796_bone.html
   
   Extractions: Table of Contents This article originally appeared in the September 1996 FDA Consumer and contains revisions made in August 1997 and September 2001. The article is no longer being updated. For information on this topic, see Information About Osteoporosis and Other Bone Diseases on this Website. Boning Up on Osteoporosis Consider an insidious condition that drains away bonethe hardest, most durable substance in the body. It happens slowly, over years, so that often neither doctor nor patient is aware of weakening bones until one snaps unexpectedly. Unfortunately, this isn't science fiction. It's why osteoporosis is called the silent thief. And it steals more than bone. It's the primary cause of hip fracture, which can lead to permanent disability, loss of independence, and sometimes even death. Collapsing spinal vertebrae can produce stooped posture and a "dowager's hump." Lives collapse too. The chronic pain and anxiety that accompany a frail frame make people curtail meaningful activities because, in extreme cases, the simplest things can cause broken bones: Stepping off a curb. A sneeze. Bending to pick up something. A hug. "Don't touch Mom, she might break" is the sad joke in many families. Osteoporosis leads to 1.5 million fractures, or breaks, per year, mostly in the hip, spine and wrist, with the cost of treatment estimated at $10 billion to $15 billion a year, according to the National Institutes of Health. It threatens 25 million Americans, mostly older women, but older men get it too. One in three women past 50 will suffer a vertebral fracture, according to the foundation. These numbers are predicted to rise as the population ages.

   Extractions: 1 in 3 women and 1 in 12 men will develop osteoporosis over the age of 50. Without treatment, osteoporosis can cause painful and disabling fractures, particularly in the wrist, hip and spine. The NOS is the only national charity dedicated to improving the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of this fragile bone disease.

    Extractions: With age, a woman's body no longer releases these hormones from the ovaries. The result is a cessation in ovulation and menstruation. Unfortunately, the decrease in hormones affects the body's ability to maintain calcium levels resulting in an increased loss of minerals from the bones. The net loss of calcium from the skeleton is a combination of changes in calcium excretion and calcium absorption.

    Information on the important aspects of the disease. With links to disease information, detection, treatment and prevention.  
    http://www.ospi.org.ph/
    
    Extractions: Bone is a living tissue, full of calcium and mineral deposits. It is continuously formed and lost in a process known as remodeling. After early adulthood, bone loss exceeds bone formation, leading to a lifelong course of decreasing bone mass. The likelihood of developing osteoporosis is determined largely by the maximum amount of bone accumulated during growth i.e. peak bone mass (PBM) and the rate and duration of bone loss. The lower the PBM or the greater the rate of bone loss, the greater the risk of osteoporosis.

    Extractions: Each office operates independently, but all cooperate in education and promotion of awareness of the disease. Osteoporosis is a disease that causes the bones to become thin and is also known as brittle bone disease. It affects 20-25 million Americans and is a significant cause of fractures, especially of the hip, spine and wrist. The OsteoRec.com site is dedicated to educating people about the disease, including risk factors, prevention, treatment, and the latest news and reports about osteoporosis OsteoRec is truly devoted to creating awareness and helping patients who suffer from the disease. To make our resources available to anyone who needs a professional medical consultation, Dr. Meckelnburg is now offering online medical appointments.

    osteoporosis is the silent disease that makes bones prone to fracture andis a major public health threat for more than 28 million Americans.  
    http://www.nof.org/osteoporosis/
    
    Extractions: Newsletters by Email Osteoporosis: A debilitating disease that can be prevented and treated. Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break. If not prevented or if left untreated, osteoporosis can progress painlessly until a bone breaks. These broken bones , also known as fractures, occur typically in the hip, spine, and wrist. Any bone can be affected, but of special concern are fractures of the hip and spine. A hip fracture almost always requires hospitalization and major surgery. It can impair a person's ability to walk unassisted and may cause prolonged or permanent disability or even death. Spinal or vertebral fractures also have serious consequences, including loss of height, severe back pain, and deformity. Millions of Americans are at risk. While women are four times more likely than men to develop the disease, men also suffer from osteoporosis.

    Extractions: La masa ósea de una persona va aumentando a lo largo de su vida hasta llegar a un "pico máximo" alrededor de los 30 ó 35 años. A partir de esta edad (30-35 años) existe de forma natural una progresiva pérdida de masa ósea. Cuando la pérdida progresiva se acelera, lo cual ocurre en ciertas enfermedades o hábitos de vida o en el caso de la mujer al llegar a la menupausia, puede llegarse a la ostoporosis en edades precoces.

    Discussion of recent research on the issue of calcium and the adequacy of a vegan diet in preventing osteoporosis.  
    http://www.vegsource.com/articles/calcium_update.htm
    
    Extractions: Research points in other directions. The milk industry spends hundreds of millions promoting the notion that high calcium intake is critical to developing strong bones and preventing osteoporosis. On the basis of pure political power, the dairy business has succeeded in getting the USDA to raise the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for calcium, with ringing endorsements that dairy products are optimal calcium sources. With organizations hopping on the pro-calcium bandwagon like the American Dietetic Association and the Osteoporosis Foundation (both of which receive money from the dairy industry), many nutritionists have joined in the scaremongering by exhorting us to "get lots of calcium lest we grow a generation of vegans whose bones crumble!"
