Overview
Normal Bone
Osteoporosis causes weak bones. In this common
disease, bones lose minerals like calcium. They
become fragile and break easily.
Bone with Osteoporosis

The problem in America
  • Major health threat for an estimated 44 million
    (55) of people 50 years and older
  • 10 million estimated to have osteoporosis
  • 34 million have low bone mass placing them at
    risk
  • 1 in 2 women and 1 in 4 men over 50 will have an
    osteoporosis-related fracture

  • Women of all ethnic backgrounds
  • White/Asian women most at risk - 1 in 2
  • African-American women - 1 in 20
  • Mexican-American women 1 in 10
  • Men
  • 80,000 hip fractures/ year

  • A womans hip fracture risk equals her combined
    risk of breast, uterine and ovarian cancer.

  • Hip fractures account for 300,000
    hospitalizations annually.

People who break a hipmight not recover
formonths or even years.

  • 1 in 5 people with a hip fracture end up in a
    nursing home within a year.

Some people never walk again.

  • The most common breaks in weak bones are in the
    wrist, spine and hip.

Bones are living organs
  • Calcium is deposited and withdrawn from bones
    daily.
  • Bones build to about age 30.
  • We need to build up a healthy bone account while
    young and continue to make deposits with age.

12
  • After mid-30s, you begin to slowly lose bone
    mass. Women lose bone mass faster after
    menopause, but it happens to men too.
  • Bones can weaken early in life without a healthy
    diet and the right kinds of physical activity.

Risk factors
  • If you have any of these red flags, you could
    be at high risk for weak bones. Talk to your
    health care professional.

Simple Prevention Steps
The National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF)
recommends FIVE simple steps to bone health and
osteoporosis prevention
20
Step 1
  • Get your daily recommended amounts of calcium
    and vitamin D.

Use MyPyramid.gov to help plan an overall
healthy diet

Calcium requirements vary by age

23
  • Calcium
  • An easy way to meet calcium needs is
    consuming 3 cups (8 oz.) each day of fat-free or
    low-fat milk or equivalent milk products in
    combination with a healthy diet. Children ages
    28 years need 2 cups.
  • MyPyramid equivalents
  • 8 oz. milk
  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 1-1/2 oz. natural ..or 2 oz. processed
    ..cheese

Fat-free and low-fat are for health but not for
calcium differences
24
Food Sources of Calcium
  • Yogurt1 cup (8 oz.) 30 DV
  • Milk1 cup 30 DV
  • Cheese1 ½ oz. natural/2 oz. processed 30 DV
  • Milk pudding1/2 cup 15 DV
  • Frozen yogurt, vanilla, soft serve½ cup 10 DV
  • Ice cream, vanilla½ cup 8 DV
  • Soy or rice milk, calcium-fortified1 cup
    variescheck label

Choose fat-free or low fat most often
25
Vitamin D from sunlight exposure
  • Vitamin D is manufactured in your skin following
    direct exposure to sun.
  • Amount varies with time of day, season, latitude
    and skin pigmentation.
  • 1015 minutes exposure of hands, arms and face
    23 times/week may be sufficient (depending on
    skin sensitivity).
  • Clothing, sunscreen, window glass and pollution
    reduce amount produced.

26
You need more vitamin D as you age
Daily vitamin D needs in International Units (IU)
Age
27
Sources of Vitamin D?
  • Main dietary sources of vitamin D are
  • Fortified milk (400 IU per quart)
  • Some fortified cereals
  • Cold saltwater fish (Example salmon, halibut,
    herring, tuna, oysters and shrimp)
  • Some calcium and vitamin/mineral supplements

28
What if? I cant drink milk or
I dont like milk?
  • Some people lack the enzyme lactase needed to
    digest lactose (milk sugar).
  • Suggestions
  • Dont like milk?
  • Suggestions

29
Step 2
  • Engage in regular weight-bearing exercise.

Even simple activities such as walking, stair
climbing and dancing can strengthen bones.
30
Physical Activity
31
Step 3
  • Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol.

MyPyramid.gov recommends no more than 1 drink
per day for women and 2 for men.
32
Step 4
  • Talk to your doctor about bone health.

33
Step 5
  • Have a bone density test and take medication
    when appropriate.

Good News!
  • Osteoporosis can be prevented!
  • Osteoporosis can be detected.
  • Osteoporosis can be treated.
  • Medications for postmenopausal women are
    available for prevention and treatment of
    osteoporosis.
  • FDA has approved several medications for men.
  • Consult with your health care provider.

35
Prevention and TreatmentYou are never too old or
too young to improve your bone health
  • Adults
  • At least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity
    a day
  • Strength and balance training
  • Protect from falls
  • Eye exam to check for visual impairments
  • Bone density test with a fracture after age 50,
    and for everyone with risk factors
  • Bone density test for all women over age 65
  • Extra calcium and vitamin D over age 50
  • Medication, if indicated, to prevent bone lossor
    build new bone.

36
Prevention and TreatmentYou are never too old or
too young to improve your bone health
  • Babies
  • Bone health begins before birth
  • Children Teens
  • Teens are at greater risk for poor bone health
    because of rapidly growing bones and poor diet
  • At least one hour of physical activity a day
  • Increase calcium during teens

37
Youre never too young or old to improve bone
health!
