Q

Osteoporosis Diagnosis BMD Measurement - Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)

A
  • scans entire body
  • measures the risk for fracture in hip, spine, wrist
  • Low level of radiation
  • Less than 5 min
  • 2D images

Q

Calcul of osteopenia for 1000 ± 100 mg/cm2 ?

A

1000 - (100 x 2.5) = 750
1000 - (100 x 1) = 900
BMD of 900 to 750 mg/cm2

Q

Standard deviation (3 types)

A
  • 1 standard deviation (osteopenia) = 2 times risk of fracture
  • 2 standard deviation = 4 times risk of fracture

Q

Osteoporosis - Prevalence (incidence)

A
  • 1.4 million in CAN
  • 350 000 in QC (4% of population)

Q

Osteoporosis - fractures over 60 yo

A

18% fracture of vertebra

23
Q

Osteoporosis - fractures overs 50 yo

A

15% hip fracture

24
Q

Women between 65-69 are how many times more likely to die within a year after breaking a hip than women of same age who don’t break a hip?

A

3 times more likely

25
trend of women in WHO categories - age 25
most women are in the normal categorie
26
trend of women in WHO categories - age 50
number of women with osteopenia increase as the women normal decrease
27
trend of women in WHO categories - age 65
Same thing as age 50 but with an increase of women with osteoporosis and established osteoporosis
28
trend of women in WHO categories - age 80
decrease in women with osteopenia bc osteopenia become osteoporosis
29
Aging effects (2)
- unbalance in bone remodeling process | - Calcium is less efficiently absorbed
30
Aging effects (2)
- unbalance in bone remodeling process | - Calcium is less efficiently absorbed
31
Aging effects - unbalance in bone remodeling process
- Loss of 1% of bone mass each year after 20 yo | - Loss of 2 to 3% of bone mass first 5 year after menopause
32
What positively change the BMD slop?
- Hormones - PA - Better nutrition
33
Hormones - Roles
- maintain the appropriate level of calcium in the bone | - General response of the skeletal system
34
Role of calcium
Calcium controls the activity of the bone cells
35
Hormones - processus
CA level - hormones - bone cells - BMD
36
Hormones - lack
Bone atrophy
37
Mechanical loading - Roles
- Maintain adequate bone density | - Local response of the skeletal system
38
Mechanical loading - processus
Loading - activation of bone cells - BMD
39
Mechanical loading - Absence
Bone atrophy
40
Osteoporosis - Risk factors that can't control with direct effect on bone remodeling (4)
- menopausal - prolonged hormonal imbalances - removal of ovaries or premature menopause - prolonged use or heavy doses of certain meds
41
Osteoporosis - Risk factors that can be control and decreased mechanical loading
- Lack of PA
42
Osteoporosis - Risk factors that can be control and decreased calcium in the bones (4)
- Diet poor in calcium and vitamin D - Smoking - Caffeine - Excessive consumption of alcohol
43
Osteoporosis - classification (3 types)
1. Postmenopausal Osteoporosis (type I) 2. Senile Osteoporosis (type II) 3. Secondary Osteoporosis
44
Postmenopausal Osteoporosis (type I)
- Decrease of estrogen = decrease of 10-15% BMD in first 5 yrs - Most common - Only women - Mid sixties - Vertebral and hip fractures
45
Senile Osteoporosis (type II)
- Poor absorption of calcium in bone - Over 80 yrs - 30% are men - Forearm, pelvic, hips fractures
46
Secondary Osteoporosis (type III)
- Associated with calcitonin imbalance, malabsorption conditions, alcoholism, smoking and use of meds - Can occur in young people
47
Osteoporosis - prevention
Hormone remplacement therapy (estrogen)
48
Pros of Hormone remplacement therapy
- Inhibit/ slow down bone resorption | - Decrease effects of menopause
49
Cons of Hormone remplacement therapy
- Increase risk of blood clots, stroke, coronary heart disease - Necessary or not?
50
Osteoporosis vs exercise - Goal PA for prevention
stress the bone
51
Osteoporosis vs exercise - Types of PA for prevention
- Weight-bearing activities | - Resistance exercises
52
Osteoporosis vs exercise - effect of exercises on the bones
Increase pressure on bone = increase bone mass
53
Osteoporosis vs exercise - Consideration for PA for osteopenia/ osteoporosis
- Avoid forward flexion - Decrease risk of falling by having adapted equipment - Low impact = aerobic dance exercise - Resistance training = decrease load and increase repetitions
