Osteoporosis Disease Awareness Month

Osteoporosis Disease Awareness Month
Osteoporosis is a disease of the bones. It happens when you lose too much
bone, make too little bone or both. As a result, your bones become weak and may
break from a minor fall or, in serious cases, even from simple actions, like
sneezing or bumping into furniture.
Osteoporosis means “porous bone.” If you look at healthy bone under a
microscope, you will see that parts of it look like a honeycomb. If you have
osteoporosis, the holes and spaces in the honeycomb are much bigger than they
are in healthy bone. This means your bones have lost density or mass and that
the structure of your bone tissue has become abnormal. As your bones become
less dense, they also become weaker and more likely to break. If you’re age 50
or older and have broken a bone, talk to your doctor or other healthcare provider
and ask if you should have a bone density test.
Osteoporosis is Common
about 54 million Americans have osteoporosis and low bone mass. Studies
suggest that approximately one in two women and up to one in four men age 50
and older will break a bone due to osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is Serious;
breaking a bone is a serious complication of osteoporosis, especially when you’re
older. Broken bones due to osteoporosis are most likely to occur in the hip, spine
and wrist, but other bones can break too. Broken bones can cause severe pain
that may not go away. Osteoporosis also causes some people to lose height.
When osteoporosis causes the bones of the spine, called vertebrae, to break or
collapse, it affects your posture and causes you to become stooped or hunched.
