9 Group of High-Risk Osteoporosis


Osteoporosis is a bone condition, which significantly reduces the results of low bone density. Care must be taken because it is a disease that was silent.

Eating habits may affect the onset of the disease. People who eat good nutritious food to minimize the risk of osteoporosis. By contrast, those who have the habit of smoking, excessive alcohol or coffee, and diet is unbalanced, prone to bone fragility.

There are nine categories that include a high risk of osteoporosis. Group are:

1. Patients Hiperparatiroid
Despite the low percentage of occurrence, parathyroid hormone that is in front of our neck, adjacent to the thyroid gland, may have a growth or tumor. In this situation, the amount of hormones circulating in the body increases. In fact, as we know, this hormone is closely related to osteoclasts, the cells in the bone. As a result, these cells have increased activity of osteoclasts. It would be a lot of calcium compounds extracted from the bones causing a rapid increase in calcium levels in the blood. These conditions make the patient experienced a decreased appetite, decreased muscle strength, abdominal pain and loss of bone mass in the ongoing case.

2. Patients with hyperthyroidism
Another term for hyperthyroidism is Graves. Symptoms of people with very diverse, not similar. However, in general, characterized by easy sweating, weakness, nervousness, irritability, anxiety, restlessness, unable to sleep, hungry and hold (oddly enough, even though he was eating, body weight, even decreased), constipation or diarrhea, hand tremors, irregular menstrual rises, blood pressure, hair loss, easy, and bone loss.

The cause of hyperthyroidism is excessive levels of the hormone thyroxine produced by the thyroid. As a result, the exchange of substances in the body increases well above normal. metabolism of the Board of Government becomes less active, including calcium metabolism. Under these conditions massive dumping calcium through urine or feces. To counter this, there was a bone demineralization process is more active.

3. Patients with anorexia nervosa
People with anorexia nervosa (eating disorders) will hold a restriction of food intake are not fair. They are desperately trying to maintain weight and body shape and habits stringent power control. They often do excessive sports activities in an effort to reach your ideal weight according to your imagination.

First decrease in body weight that looks pretty realistic. However, after reaching the goal, set a lower ideal weight. Psychologically, they are very sensitive to criticism about weight loss. The diet is made as if the pattern of life. They actually have a normal appetite, but hunger is strictly controlled.

Fatty foods are barely touched, while the high energy content. People with anorexia are individuals who have a heightened awareness of the nutritional aspects. Unfortunately, the distortion of knowledge of nutrition, so are not able to practice the concepts of nutrition information it receives. That's why osteoporosis is easy to attack.

4. Pregnancy and lactation
During pregnancy, intestinal calcium absorption in the mother increases to meet calcium needs for the baby. If the daily calcium intake in women is low, the baby's needs will be met from reserves of calcium bound calcium in the bones of his mother. The same can occur during breastfeeding. ASI is necessary for children to healthy living, and an important component in breast milk is calcium. Breast milk contains an average of 300 mg of calcium per liter. Therefore, calcium intake should be increased during lactation. Consume the recommended amount during pregnancy and lactation, each of 1,200 mg per day.

Teens who are growing (11-24 years) are advised to consume 1,200 mg of calcium per day. Distance pregnancies that are too close will accelerate the loss of calcium from the bones, especially for those who lack adequate daily intake. With a pregnancy that is set to distance (eg 2-3 years), maternal calcium status is expected to return to normal before the next pregnancy and lactation.
