Bone Loss Research Articles

Osteoporosis, or porous bone, is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and an increased risk of hip, spine and wrist fractures. Both men and women are affected by osteoporosis, a disease that can be prevented and treated. In the United States, more than 53 million people already have osteoporosis or are at high risk due to low bone mass.

Bone is a living, growing tissue. It is mainly composed of collagen, a protein that provides a flexible framework, and calcium phosphate, a mineral that adds strength and hardens the framework.This combination of collagen and calcium makes the bone both flexible and strong, which helps the bone to resist stress. Over 99% of body calcium is found in bones and teeth. The remaining 1 percent is found in the blood.Throughout its life, the old bone is removed and the new bone is added to the skeleton. During childhood and adolescence, new bone is added faster than the old bone is removed. As a result, the bones become larger, heavier and denser.

A survey was carried out on changes in aging in compact and trabecular bone. Over the past decade, non-invasive methods have shown similar results for compact bone in large samples. Decreases in aging of 3% / decade begin at around 40 in both sexes and continue, but in women, further loss occurs after menopause, bringing their total rate of decrease to 9% / decade between 45 and 75 years old. Results on the trabecular bone losses are more variable, the majority indicating a slightly lower loss rate (decades from 6% to 8%), starting in young adults (20 to 40 years) in both sexes. These results suggest that the common assumption of significant continued loss of trabecular bone after menopause may be wrong. These hypotheses are examined, as are the implications of the results for calcium metabolism, anatomical correlations and the incidence of fractures.
