Study Notes
Osteoporosis Consequences
- Osteoporosis can lead to fractures, especially in the hip, spine, and wrist.
- Fractures can lead to pain, disability, and loss of independence.
Osteoporosis Fractures
- Hip fractures are a common fracture associated with aging and osteoporosis.
- Women are more likely than men to experience osteoporotic fractures.
Bisphosphonates Mechanism
- Bisphosphonates work by inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts, cells responsible for bone resorption.
Osteoporosis Diagnosis
- A T score of -2.5 or lower is the standard for diagnosing osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis Treatment
- Denosumab is administered annually for osteoporosis treatment.
Osteoporosis Risk Factors
- Low calcium intake is a risk for developing osteoporosis.
Bisphosphonate Therapy
- For patients with low to moderate fracture risk, a "drug holiday" is recommended after 3-5 years of bisphosphonate therapy.
Osteoporosis Age Risk
- The risk of hip fracture doubles every five years after the age of 50.
Denosumab Indication
- Denosumab is used to treat osteoporosis in patients at high risk for fractures.
Secondary Osteoporosis
- Corticosteroids can cause secondary osteoporosis.
FRAX Tool
- The FRAX tool estimates the 10-year fracture risk for individuals.
T Score Interpretation
- A T score of -2.5 or lower indicates osteoporosis.
Calcium Supplementation
- 1200 mg daily calcium supplementation is suggested for osteoporosis management.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
- In women under 60 years of age, early menopause can warrant hormone replacement therapy for osteoporosis.
Secondary Osteoporosis Risk Factors
- Endocrine disorders are a significant risk factor for secondary osteoporosis outlined by the ABCDE mnemonic.
