OSTEOPOROSIS Written by Anonymous
Osteoporosis is disease of brittle bones. As we age, bone mass loses density. Menopause can accelerate this process due to loss in oestrogen levels. Oestrogen plays two important roles in bone metabolism: it facilitates absorption of calcium from blood into bone and inhibits loss of calcium from bone. Lack of oestrogen will slow down calcium absorption into bone and, instead, speed up calcium loss. It is estimated that average woman loses up to 10 per cent of her bone mass in first five years of menopause. Research suggests that about half of all women over age of 60 will have at least one fracture due to osteoporosis. Dubbed "silent disease", osteoporosis reveals no physical symptoms. That is because bone loss causes neither visible signs nor pain. Osteoporosis can go undetected for years, until weakened bones cause painful fractures in back or hips.
