last lecture
Metabolic disorders occur from abnormal physiological processes of the ____ and ____ system
nervous and endocrine system
True or false: the skeleton is a metabolically active organ that finishes remodeling at 25-35 years
false: undergoes continuous remodeling throughout life
*resorption and formation
Bone mass reaches peak levels between ages __and ____
25-35 years
after this time, rate of resorption begins to exceed rate of formation
metabolic bone diseases are characterized by loss of bone ____and ___
density and strength
What is the most serious, potentially life threatening, costly complication of metabolic bone disease
fracture
kyphosis due to metabolic bone disease could affect what
cardiopulmonary function
what is osteomalacia
softening of bones
what is osteopenia
low bone mass
osteopetrosis
increased bone density
osteoporosis
systemic disease decreases bone density
Secondary osteoporosis is due to
(Metabolic) Diseases, meds (increase bone reabsorption), other conditions
Osteoporosis is defined as what?
Chronic, progressive disease with low bone mass, impaired bone quality, decreased bone strength, enhanced risk of fractures
Primary osteoporosis is due to what?
Age related physiological changes!
-long term calcium deficiency
-declining gonadal/adrenal function
-progressive estrogen deficiency
-sedentary lifestyle
Is primary or secondary osteoporosis more common?
Primary osteoporosis
Risk factors for osteoporosis
Hormonal status
Genetics
Sedentary
Tobacco, alcohol
Meds
Depression (sedentary?)
Diet/nutrition
Bone strength is based on what two factors?
Bone density
Bone quality
Without weight bearing/mechanical stimuli, you pee out more ____ and bone density _____
Calcium (calcium excretion increases)
Bone density decreases
What are the most common presenting features of osteoporosis?
Loss of height

Back pain
Fractures
Where is muscular pain/trigger points in people with osteoporosis?
Lower back para spinals
Rhomboid muscles
What is an unrecognized early sign of osteoporosis?
Stress fractures
VERTEBRAL COMPRESSION FRACTURES ARE MOST COMMON OSTEOPOROSIS RELATED SPINAL FRACTURES
What are the most common spinal fractures in osteoporosis?
Vertebral compression fractures
