Study Notes
Osteoporosis and Risk Factors Summary
- Withdrawal of estrogens at menopause or oophorectomy causes accelerated bone resorption, with most women losing 10% of bone mass within the first 5 years.
- Small-framed, Asian, and Caucasian women are at highest risk for osteoporosis, while African American women are also at risk due to prevalence of sickle cell and autoimmune diseases.
- Aromatase inhibitors increase osteoporosis risk for women with breast cancer.
- Men have a greater peak bone mass and experience osteoporosis about one decade later than women, with one in four men sustaining an osteopenic fracture.
- Nutrition, bariatric surgery, GI diseases, autoimmune diseases, and immobility contribute to osteoporosis development.
- Bone formation is enhanced by weight and muscle activity, while immobility contributes to osteoporosis development.
- Osteoporosis may be undetectable on routine x-rays until significant demineralization occurs.
- Osteoporosis is diagnosed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), with baseline testing recommended for older women and those with risk factors.
- BMD studies are useful in assessing response to therapy and recommended post any osteoporotic fracture.
- Female fracture risk can be estimated using the WHO Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX), while the Male Osteoporosis Risk Estimation Score (MORES) is more specific for men.
- Treatment is reserved for those with a 10-year risk of more than 3% for hip fracture or 20% risk for other major fractures, based on BMD, personal and family history, and secondary factors.
- Laboratory studies and x-ray studies are used to exclude other possible disorders contributing to bone loss.
