    5b. Bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced, bone microarchitecture is disrupted, and the amount and variety of non-collagenous proteins in bone is altered. Osteoporosis is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) in women as a bone mineral density 2.5 standard deviations below peak bone mass (20-year-old sex-matched healthy person average.) The term "established osteoporosis" includes the presence of a fragility fracture. Osteoporosis is most common in women after the menopause, when it is called postmenopausal osteoporosis, but may develop in men and premenopausal women in the presence of particular hormonal disorders and other chronic diseases or as a result of smoking and medications, specifically glucocorticoids, when the disease is called steroid- or glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (SIOP or GIOP).…

    Arthritis is a disease that in some way effects everyone. Whether you have arthritis or not, chances are, you know someone who does and can see the effect it has on them. There are some common misconceptions about arthritis, types of arthritis, and the causes. There are in fact some different types of the disease that most people don’t know about. Arthritis is a general term for approximately 100 diseases that produce either inflammation of connective tissues, particularly in joints, or non-inflammatory degeneration of these tissues. The word means "joint inflammation," but because other structures are also affected, the diseases are often called connective tissue diseases.…

    Osteoporosis is the first thing that comes to mind when describing our patient, “An 84-year-old thin, small boned white female.” Bone production is more abundant in younger children the years before they reach puberty. As you age it takes longer for bone to form. Osteoporosis is caused when you lose bone mass quicker than new bone mass is formed. Calcium, Vitamin D, and Phosphate are needed to form bone. Insufficient amounts of these minerals can cause bones to become brittle and weak over time. (Mayo Clinic Staff, 1998-2013) “The leading cause of osteoporosis is a lack of certain hormones, particularly estrogen in women and androgen in men. Women, especially those older than 60 years of age, are frequently diagnosed with the disease. Menopause is accompanied by lower estrogen levels and increases a woman's risk for osteoporosis.” (William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR, 2013) A patient with a small bone frame serves as a higher risk candidate for osteoporosis because they already have low bone mass, as they age the break down will be much quicker. As we age are hormones may become imbalanced. When estrogen is decreased in women and testosterone is decreased in men, this can cause bones to become weak. As we age, a decrease in these hormones occurs. A common example of decreased estrogen occurring is menopause in older women. When your bones become weak the risk for osteoporosis is much higher. (Mayo Clinic Staff, 1998-2013) “Cigarette smoking, eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia, low amounts of calcium in the diet, heavy alcohol consumption, inactive lifestyle, and use of certain medications, such as corticosteroids and anticonvulsants, are also risk factors of osteoporosis.” (William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR, 2013) Muscle pains, bone pains, and joint pains are common symptoms of osteoporosis. Asian and Caucasian women are at higher risk for osteoporosis.…
