Relationship Between Osteoporosis and Bone Fracture


Osteoporosis disease happens only due to low bone mass and loss of bone tissue that may lead to weak and fragile bones. If you are suffering from this disease then the risk of having bone fracture is so high. It may be in the hip, spine or wrist. The damage from osteoporosis begins much earlier in life because peak bone density is reached at approximately 25 years of age. It is important to build strong bones by that age, so that the bones will remain strong later in life. Adequate calcium intake is an essential part of building strong bones.
 Most people who have osteoporosis won't ever know it before they fracture a bone. Not even an x-ray done at your doctor's office is helpful, since a person would need to lose 30-50% of their bone density before it could be detected with a normal x-ray test.

Women are the ones mostly suffering from osteoporosis. According to studies, you can find more than 80% of the total population of women suffering from Osteoporosis. And this percentage is increasing from year to year. In other countries like the United States, there are 10 million people already have Osteoporosis.

There is test which is used to check your bone density and determine if you are at risk for fracture. It is called DEXA, which stands for Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry. The test will produce two scores that are used to determine your risk to having bone fractures.

Osteoporosis occurs when there is an imbalance between the new bone formation and old bone desorption. To avoid fractures, you have to take the precaution to save yourself from Osteoporosis too.
