Description:

Bone is an organic tissue that is constantly breaking down and being replaced. Old bone tissue is broken down by cells called as  osteoclasts and replaced with new bone formation through cells called  osteoblasts. Generally, your bones are dense and solid enough to withstand your weight and take up most types of impacts. Your bones naturally lose some of their density and ability to regrow (remodel) themselves as you age. If you have osteoporosis, your bones are substantially more fragile and weaker than what they should be. Most people are unaware they have osteoporosis until they break a bone The balance between the disintegration of old bone and the development of new bone shifts throughout our lives. When the formation of new bone does not keep up with the reduction of old bone, osteoporosis develops. New bone is formed at a rapid rate during childhood and adolescence. This enables our bones to become larger and stronger (denser). By our mid-to-late twenties, bone density has reached its peak. Following this, new bone is formed at roughly the same rate as old bone is broken down. This implies that the adult skeleton is completely renewed every 7-10 years. Men and women of all races are affected by osteoporosis. However, white and Asian women, particularly older women who have passed menopause are most vulnerable. Medicines a healthy diet and rigorous physical activity can help prevent bone loss or reinforce bones that are already weak.

Cause:

The mass of bones is lost faster than it is created as people age. The amount of bone mass you had when you were younger influences your risk of developing osteoporosis.Some osteoporosis risk factors are beyond your control, such as: Your sexuality: Women are far more likely than men to develop osteoporosis. Age: The older you get, the more likely you are to develop osteoporosis. Race: You are most likely to develop osteoporosis if you are white or of Asian descent. A family tree: Having an osteoporotic parent or sibling increases your risk, especially if your mother or father fractured a hip. Size of the body frame: Men and women with small body frames are more vulnerable because they may have less bone mass to draw from as they age. Other factors that contribute to bone loss include: Harmones like thyroid imbalance, nutritional deficiency like low calcum intake, usage of steroids, gastritis with reflux , celiac disease like IBS / colitis, liver or kidney diseases, cancers, sedentary lifestyle, alcohol consumption .

Symptom:

Osteoporosis is frequently asymptomatic. However, once your bones have been weakened by osteoporosis, you may experience them. The first sign of osteoporosis is when you break a bone in an unintentional fall or accident (known as a low-impact fracture). Fractures are most commonly found in the hip spine or wrist. The following are the other signs and symptoms: • Back pain caused by a broken or collapsed vertebrae. • Height loss over time. • A hunched posture. • A bone that fractures far more easily than expected.                          • Body Pain
