Weak women pay attention

Affecting some 200 million women around the world Osteoporosis have shown that vitamin D deficiency is seen in 97 per cent of those who applied to the hospital with a mild fall fracture problem. The body mass index of the disease, which causes 1 of every 5 females who have a hip fracture to lose their life within a year, is also considered to be effective in the formation of bone fractures, but the high body mass index reduces the tendency of the bones to be broken. So overweight women are less risky of fractures.

Correct treatment of osteoporosis, which means increased risk of fracture in the bones, is of great significance in terms of hip fractures that prevent return to old quality of life and result in fatal death of one of the cases. With increasing age, the increased risk of fractures due to various illnesses and medication use should be assessed with a detailed and versatile approach if it becomes a threat to the patient's life.

Osteoporosis is diagnosed by looking at bone density only, and according to it, it is a wrong practice to start treatment Anatolia Health Center Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Specialist Dr. Semih Akı, "With this practice, the risk of fracture of the patient, not directly bone density is being treated. However, the good value of bone density is not enough to protect from fracture alone. As a matter of fact, about half of those with normal bone density are seen as fractures, which is considered as the clearest indicator

VERY WEAK CREATING A PROBLEM

Body mass index, that is, the ratio of height and weight is effective in the formation of bone fractures, Professor. Dr. Semih Akı, contrary to popular belief, high body mass index indicated that bones reduce the tendency to bend. Because of the positive effect of physical stress on children basketball and volleyball, such as sports that would need to jump Professor recommend. Dr. "Overweight people have more physical stress on the bones, which contributes to bone development," he says. However, it is not approved because of the negative effects of obesity on general health. The patient has previously undergone osteoporotic fractures and is preparing the ground for other fractures. For this reason, it is important to prevent the first strike, "he said.

THE MOST IMPORTANT RISK FACTOR, AGE!

According to the chart used to reveal the fracture risk, there are four main factors that should be evaluated Professor. Dr. The flux is these; bone density measurement, age, previous osteoporotic fracture and mother's fracture. Professor Dr. Flux, tendon to bone should be evaluated under two headings as bone hardness and bone quality, said: "With the age of the bone density is decreasing as the quality of the bone is deteriorating. Bone density values ​​of two people aged 40 and 80 are the same, but bone quality deteriorates with age, and the risk of fracture increases eight-fold. For this reason, without looking at the bone density in older age groups, bone quality can be started considering the impairment of the quality of the bone. "

Another factor is gender. Dr. Flux stated that with the menopause of women, estrogen hormone, which is the protective effect of bones, is decreasing, resulting in increased risk of fracture.

SECONDARY FACTORING ATTENTION!

There are also some secondary factors that influence the risk of osteoporosis. These include; drink and smoking, sedentary life, thyroid hormone use, chronic lung diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, prostate in men, breast cancer treatment in women.
