Study Notes
Aging and Osteoporosis: Risk Factors and Conditions
- Age-related changes can lead to falls, fractures, and loss of mobility
- Factors critical for healthy aging include bone strength, muscle strength, joint health, neurological function, and nutrition
- Bone tissue is composed of compact bone (cortical) and spongy bone (trabecular)
- Bone tissue cell types include osteogenic cells, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes
- Bone remodeling is a dynamic process crucial for maintaining, repairing, and adapting bone
- Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone density and increased risk of fracture
- Osteoporosis is more prevalent in women, with risk factors including age, low calcium or Vit D, genetics, hormone imbalance, race, and medications
- Peak bone mass is influenced by genetics, sex, puberty, and lifestyle factors
- Calcium homeostasis is regulated by parathyroid hormone and activated vitamin D
- Estrogens and androgens play essential roles in bone growth and remodeling
- Osteoporosis pathogenesis involves high turnover and remodeling imbalance, affecting both spongy and compact bone
- Clinical manifestations of osteoporosis include fractures, pain, deformity, and additional falls, with common fracture sites being the hip, distal radius, and vertebrae
