Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by porous and fragile bones. It leads to an increased risk of fractures, especially in the hip, spine, and wrist. One in five people with a hip fracture due to osteoporosis will end up in a nursing home within a year. Maintaining strong bones requires adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, weight-bearing exercise, and avoiding risk factors like smoking. A DEXA scan can diagnose osteoporosis by measuring bone mineral density and comparing to norms for young healthy individuals.
Proper nutrition is an integral part of maintaining healthy bones and preventing falls.

Osteoporosis means "porous bones." Our bones are strongest at about age 30, then begin to lose density. More than 300 million Indians have osteoporosis, which is significant bone loss that increases the risk of fracture. About half of women 50 and older will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime.

Calcium
Main functions:bone/tooth formationregulation of nerve transmission, blood clotting, contraction of muscleshelps maintain normal blood pressure
Stored in:99% of the total calcium in the body is stored in the bones1% of the total calcium in the body is found in the blood
*
Calcium stored in the bones serves as a reservoir of calcium. Its there to help maintain blood calcium levels when intake of calcium is low.
A chronically poor intake of calcium, over a number of years, causes a lot of calcium to removed from the bones to supply the blood (which is used for more immediate needs like muscle contraction, nerve transmission, etc).
Eventually, calcium loss from the bones results in reduced bone density and this condition is known as osteoporosis. We will discuss osteoporosis in a bit.
Calcium has a low bioavailability so anything that you can do to enhance, and therefore, improve calcium absorption is important.These are factors which enhance calcium’s bioavailability:Vitamin D: fortunately one of the best sources of calcium (milk) also contains Vitamin D. Women taking calcium supplements should also consider taking a calcium supplement that has some Vitamin D to help with absorption.Lactose: again, milk, our best calcium source also contains lactose. (What is lactose?)Gastric acid: is the acid secreted in your stomach for digestion; calcium absorption is enhanced in an acidic environment—since acid is secreted whenever you eat food, its best to take a calcium supplement with food.Need: any time you body needs more calcium, during pregnancy and periods of active growth such as infancy and adolescence, for example, our bodies can absorb more calcium
Factors which decrease Calcium absorptionToo much fiber in the diet>35 gms/dayfor most Americans, this is not a problem, since the average fiber intake is ~10-15 gms/dayAgeAs we age, we produce less gastric acidExcess use of laxativesToo much phosphorus in the dietOur main source of phosphorus is soda—and we drink a lot of soda, especially children and teens—which could be putting thier bones at risk, especially when they substitute soda for milkVitamin D deficiencyToo much coffee, tea

Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis, or porous bone, is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration
of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and an increased susceptibility to fractures, especially of the hip,
spine, and wrist, although any bone can be affected.
• Each year 1.5 million older people in this country suffer fractures because
their bones have become weak. For older people, weak bones can be deadly.
• One in five people with a hip fracture ends up in a nursing home within a year.
• The most common breaks in weak bones are in the wrist, spine, and hip.
• Hip fractures are by far the most devastating type of broken bone. They
account for about 300,000 hospitalizations every year.
Bones may begin to weaken early in life if the diet is
not adequate and physical activity is limited. With
osteoporosis, bones begin to lose the mineral calcium.
They become fragile and break easily.
The body’s frame becomes like the frame of
a house damaged by termites. Termites weaken the
house much like osteoporosis weakens the bones.
What can be done?
There are many things which weaken bones. Some are outside of our control. Having a family member
with osteoporosis is a risk factor. Other medical conditions may also increase the risk of osteoporosis.
Here are some factors that can be controlled:
• Get enough calcium and vitamin D. Your body needs vitamin D to
absorb calcium. And calcium is essential for strong bones and teeth.
• Be physically active. All exercise helps strengthen bones. However,
weight bearing exercises and resistance training are particularly helpful.
• Reduce hazards in the home. This helps to decrease the risk of
falling and breaking bones.
• Talk with the doctor about current medicines. This way he can be made
aware of all medications, particularly ones that can weaken the bones,
like medication for thyroid problems or arthritis.
• Maintain a healthy weight. Being underweight raises the risk of fracture and bone loss.
• Don’t smoke. Smoking can reduce bone mass and increase the risk for a broken bone.
• Limit alcohol use. Heavy alcohol use reduces bone mass and increases the risk for broken bones.
2. The amount of calcium that makes up the bones is a measure of how strong they
are. Our muscles and nerves also require calcium and phosphorus to work.
Therefore, if these are in short supply in the diet, the body simply takes them from
the bones. Each day, calcium is deposited and withdrawn from the bones. If we are
not getting enough calcium from the diet, then it is likely that more is being
withdrawn than is deposited. This is why it is very important for children and teens
to build up their bones early so that they can have a “savings account” of
calcium for later life. Once we reach the age of 30, our bodies stop adding new
bone. However, healthy habits can help us keep the bone that we do have!
Risk Factors
Tips for keeping bones strong:
♦ Low lifetime calcium intake
• Calcium is found in foods like ♦ Vitamin D deficiency

3. How is osteoporosis diagnosed?
A simple test that measures the bone mineral density
(BMD) at different parts of the body, such as the
spine and hip, can help determine the presence of
osteoporosis. Currently, the best test to measure BMD is
the Dual energy x-ray absorpiometry (DEXA). The test is
quick and painless; it is similar to having an x-ray taken,
but uses far less radiation. The results from the DEXA
test are scored in comparison to the BMD of young,
healthy individuals, resulting in a measurement called the
T-score. A T-score of –2.5 or lower indicates
DEXA
osteoporosis. An individual with this score would be at
high risk for fracture. An individual with a T-score
between –1.0 and –2.5 would generally be considered to Lack of calcium has been

4. Talk to your doctor about bone health. Important things to discuss
include your current health, your diet and physical activity levels, and
your family background. Your doctor can look at your age, weight,
height, and medical history. From this information, conclusions can
be made on whether or not you need a bone density test.
♦ If you break a bone after the age of 50, talk to your doctor about
measuring your bone density. Even if it was purely broken by
accident, you could still have weak bones. It’s worth checking.
♦ All women over 65 should have a bone density test.
