OSTEOPOROSIS
Osteoporosis is an orthopedic condition in which there is loss of bone mass and a breakdown in the microarchitecture of the bone. It is often called "the silent disease" because its victims feel no pain as bones gradually thin to the point where even a slight bump or a fit of coughing can cause a fracture. Bones become so weak and brittle that a mild stress, such as bending over, lifting a vacuum cleaner, or even coughing can cause a fracture of the hip, spine, or wrist. In addition to an increased rate of bone and skeletal fractures, patients with osteoporosis have a corresponding increase in morbidity and mortality, with twelve to twenty percent of sufferers dying within a year after a fall resulting in a broken hip. Osteoporosis is currently one of the most under-diagnosed and under-treated disorders in the country. Osteoporosis is commonly considered a geriatric disease, but its roots are in childhood and adolescence when peak bone mass should be achieved. It is a pediatric disease with geriatric consequences. It can strike at any age, resulting in loss of height, severe back pain, and deformity (the classic curvature of the spine is called a Dowager's Hump), and can impair a person's ability to walk. Hip fractures due to osteoporosis can lead to immobility, loss of muscle tone, and decreased body strength. This can result in prolonged or permanent disability, an inability to care for oneself, and complete dependence on others. Although approximately 25 million women and 5 million men suffer from this debilitating disorder, osteoporosis is not an inevitable part of aging. Osteoporosis is a disease condition that is both preventable and treatable. In persons who are already suffering from osteoporosis, treatment can diminish additional bone loss and prevent additional fractures. The misperception that osteoporosis is a normal part of aging results in too many women, mostly over the age of 50, unnecessarily suffering significant pain, deformity, or death.
