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

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

(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

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:

living tissue
Osteoporosis Causes:

- As people age, bone mass is _
lost faster than it’s created
Osteoporosis Causes:

less likely
