Q

Physiological changes of aging

A

vertebral discs thin –> spinal column compression –
> kyphosis
bone density decreases –> frail, higher risk of fall injury
cartilage becomes rigid –> less protective
rigid ligaments –> reduce range of motion
decreased muscle mass
osteoblasts decrease mitotic activity
parathyroid hormone increases
calcitonin decreases

Q

Key Hormones

A

Parathyroid Hormone
Calcitonin
Vitamin D
Estrogen

30
Q

Parathyroid Hormone Function

A

produced by the parathyroid glands

increase number and activity of osteoclasts –> promote bone resorption –> release calcium/phosphate into blood
promote phosphate excretion by kidneys
promote calcium retention by kidneys
promote activation of vitamin D in kidneys –> promote calcium absorption in GI tract

31
Q

Calcitonin Function

A

released by the thyroid glands

inhibits activity and number of osteoclasts –> decrease bone resorption

32
Q

Vitamin D Function

A

produced by the integumentary system/diet

Vitamin D is converted into calcitriol in the kidneys
calcitriol promotes the absorption of calcium in the GI tract

33
Q

Estrogen Function

A

estrogen inhibits bone resorption
estrogen decreases number and activity of osteoclasts
increase osteoclast apoptosis

34
Q

Sources of estrogen

A

estrogen = produced by the ovaries

post-menopause estrogen is provided through the conversion of androgens –> estrogen via aromatase

35
Q

Glucocorticoid function

A

anti-inflammatory drug

contribute to osteoporosis
decrease number and activity of osteoblasts
decreases osteoclast apoptosis
inhibits OPG –> increased RANKL expression on osteoblasts –> increased osteoclast differentiation

36
Q

Factors affecting peak bone mass

A

Genetics
Hormones
Nutrition
Lifestyle

37
Q

Risk Factors for Older Adults

A
Sarcopenia (reduced muscle mass)
Chronic Pain
Injury/Trauma
Nutritional deficiencies
Obesity
Chronic Illness
38
Q

Renal Calculi

A

mineral and salt deposits that form in the kidneys

39
Q

Sarcopenia

A

Reduced skeletal muscle mass, strength and function

40
Q

Consequences of immobility

A
dehydration

contractures
deep vein thrombosis
constipation

Disability
Institutionalization
Loss of independence
Isolation & Depression
41
Q

Q

Signs/Symptoms of Osteoporosis

A
height loss (>2cm - could indicate spine fracture)
reduced range in motion
fragility fractures
52
Q

Anticonvulsants

A

causes changes in bone and calcium metabolism –> decreased bone mass
may contribute to osteoporosis

53
Q

Typical fracture sites for osteoporosis

A

Hips
Wrists
Shoulder

54
Q

Fragility Fracture

A

spontaneous fracture that occurs from non-intense activity (sneezing, coughing, twisting, etc)

55
Q

Paresthesia

A

burning/prickling sensation in the limbs

56
Q

Normal height loss

A

1 cm every 10 years after age 60

57
Q

Abnormal height loss

A

2-3 cm in a short timeframe

could indicate spinal fracture

58
Q

Osteopenia

A

loss of bone density but not to the point of fragility

-1 to -2.5 on the bone density scale

59
Q

Osteoporosis

A

condition in which excessive demineralization causes bones to become porous, weak, fragile
caused by an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation

less than -2.5 on the bone density scale

60
Q

What part of the bone does osteoporosis impact

A

Spongy bone
Spongy bone is higher in surface area so tends to have more dramatic bone loss

May be thinning of the compact bone as well

61
