Why is physical activity important for people with arthritis?
Participating in joint-friendly activity can improve arthritis pain, function, mood, and quality of life
- Joint-friendly physical activities are low-impact (walking, biking, swimming)
How to exercise safely with arthritis:
S.M.A.R.T tips
S - start low, go slow
M - modify activity when arthritis symptoms increase, try to stay active
A - activities should be “joint-friendly”
R - recognize safe places and ways to be active
T - talk to a health professional or certified exercise specialist
How to exercise safely with arthritis: SMART
- Your doctor is a good source of information about physical activity
- Healthcare professionals and certified exercise professionals can answer questions about how much and what type of activity matches abilities and health goals
T - talk to a health professional or certified exercise specialist
How to exercise safely with arthritis: SMART
- Safety is important for starting and maintaining an activity plan
- Exercise classes may be a good option
- Find safe places to be active (walk in an area where the sidewalks or pathways are level and free of obstructions well-lighted and are separate from heavy traffic)
R - recognize safe places and ways to be active
How to exercise safely with arthritis: SMART
- Chose activities that are easy on the joints like walking, bicycling, water aerobics, or dancing
- These activities have a low risk of injury and do not twist or “pound” the joints too much
A - activities should be “joint-friendly”
How to exercise safely with arthritis: SMART
- Arthritis symptoms, such as pain, stiffness, and fatigue, may come and go and you may have good days and bad days
- Try to modify activity to stay as active as possible without making symptoms worse
M - modify activity when arthritis symptoms increase, try to stay active
How to exercise safely with arthritis: SMART
- When starting or increasing physical activity, start slow and pay attention to how your body tolerates it
- People with arthritis may take more time for their body to adjust to a new level of activity
- If you are not active, start with a small amount of activity, for example, 3 to 5 minutes 2 times a day
- Add activity a little at a time and allow enough time for your body to adjust to the new level before adding more activity
S - start low, go slow
What to do if there is pain during or after exercise with arthritis:
It’s normal to have some pain, stiffness and swelling after starting a new physical activity program
- It may take 6-8 weeks for joint to get used to new activity level, but sticking with the activity program will result in _
long-term pain relief
What to do if there is pain during or after exercise with arthritis:
- Tips to help manage pain
- Until pain improves, modify physical activity program by exercising less frequently or for shorter periods of time
- Try a different type of exercise that puts less pressure on the joints
- Do proper warm-up and cool-down before and after exercise
- Exercise at a comfortable place - should be able to carry on a conversation
- Make sure you have good fitting, comfortable shoes

54 million
Osteoporosis:
- Affects _ in their lives
1 out of every 2 women
Osteoporosis:

- Most _
60+ yrs
is defined as a bone mineral density (BMD) value that is > 2.5 standard deviation units below the mean BMD value for a young adult reference group
Osteoporosis
(osteopenia, a milder reduction in BMD) is defined as a BMD value between 1.0 and 2.5 SD units below the mean value for a young non-Hispanic white female reference group
Low bone mass
Osteoporosis:
Clinically, we use _ to estimate the prevalence
Femur neck or lumbar spine
Osteoporosis:
Clinically, used to estimate the prevalence
- It has a larger percentage of soft bone than the rest of femur
- This makes it more vulnerable to a fracture
Femur neck
Osteoporosis:
Clinically, used to estimate the prevalence
- Osteoporosis-related fractures most commonly occur in the hip, wrist or spine
Lumbar spine
Osteoporosis - T-score:
Bone density is within 1 SD (+1 or -1) of the young adult mean
Normal
Osteoporosis - T-score:
Bone density is between 1 and 2.5 SD below the young adult mean (-1 to -2.5 SD)
Love bone mass
Osteoporosis - T-score:
Bone density is 2.5 SD or more below the young adult mean (-2.5 SD or lower)
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis - T-score:
Bone density is more than 2.5 SD below the young adult mean, and there have been one or more osteoporotic fractures
Severe (established) osteoporosis
Osteoporosis Causes:
- Bone is _ that is constantly being broken down and replaced
living tissue
Osteoporosis Causes:
- When young, body makes new bone faster than it breaks down old bone, so bone mass increases
- Most people reach peak bone mass by their early 20s.
- As people age, bone mass is _
lost faster than it’s created
Osteoporosis Causes:
- The higher your peak bone mass, the more bone you have “in the bank” and the _ you are to develop osteoporosis as you age
less likely
Osteoporosis Causes:
- Osteoporosis occurs when the _
creation of new bone doesn’t keep up with the removal of old bone
Osteoporosis Risk Factors
- Sex
- Age
- Race
- Family History
- Body Frame size
- Low calcium intake
- Eating disorders
- Gastrointestinal surgery
Osteoporosis Risk Factors:
Women are much more likely to develop osteoporosis than are men
Sex
Osteoporosis Risk Factors:
The older you get, the greater the risk of osteoporosis
Age
Osteoporosis Risk Factors:
You’re at greatest risk of osteoporosis if you’re white or of Asian descent
race
Osteoporosis Risk Factors:
having a parent or sibling with osteoporosis puts you at greater risk, especially if your mother or father experienced a hip fracture
Family History
Osteoporosis Risk Factors:
Men and women who have small body frames tend to have a higher risk because they may have less bone mass to draw from as they age
Body frame size
Osteoporosis Risk Factors:
A lifelong lack of calcium plays a role in the development of osteoporosis
- Contributes to diminished bone density, early bone loss and an increased risk of fractures
Low calcium intake
