Osteoporosis: A Disease of Grave Concern
The disease which makes the bone more prone to fractures is known as osteoporosis and the name indicates porous bones. The bone mineral density (BMD) reduces followed by deterioration of micro-architecture of bone and alteration of bone proteins. World Health Organization (WHO) defines that the bone mineral density in osteoporosis is less than 2.5 as measured by DXA. The disease may be classified as primary type 1, primary type 2 or secondary. Primary 1 or postmenopausal osteoporosis is very frequently noticed in women after the menopause. Primary 2 or senile osteoporosis is common after the age of 75 and is observed in both males and females in the ration of 2:1. Secondary osteoporosis can affect both men and women at any age in equal proportion. This disease crops up due to prolonged use of glucocorticoids so also known as glucocoticoid-induced osteoporosis. Lifestyle changes and sometimes medications can reduce the risk of this disease. Lifestyle changes comprise diet, exercise and fall-prevention.
ROSELLE Againts Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by reduced bone mass and bone tissue microarchitecture changes. That result in decreased bone strength and increased bone fragility and risk of osteoporotic fracture of bone. This is often referred to as the silent disease because it does not show clinical symptoms. As if someone who has osteoporosis and sudden nature can lead to the death. Because it's very dangerous, especially in those aged dusk, the choreographer and dancer of classical Javanese, Retno Maruti, who is now 60-year-old is watching your intake of calcium is consumed routine and stay active. "Bone health is very important, especially related to the physical freedom to move," said Retno Maruti, who became ambassador to osteoporosis Indonesia International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) since 2003. In Indonesia, many people who are aged dusk now unable to move even on the move a lot . In fact there is already bent, carrying a stick or just to sit in a wheelchair because of osteoporosis suffered. As a result, due to osteoporosis, this is what their physical suffered. In fact raise awareness Retno Maruti to maintain your diet and lifestyle. He was trying to eat healthy foods, including milk according to their needs, and still teaches at the Jakarta Arts Institute (IKJ) and continue to practice dance. "I was exhausted, one move, thus making the muscles sore, that I have ever experienced. But I do not memforsir myself and always or prepare the muscles warmed up before the dance, "Maruti said. Retno aware how dangerous osteoporosis and the importance of healthy living to fight osteoporosis. Therefore, he added, "We all need to eat dairy, healthy foods, and exercise regularly. Most important is to regulate the balance of life." Preceded osteoponiaSebelum osteoporosis occurs, the patient first experienced osteoponia, which is a condition of loss of bone mass due to various circumstances. The results of Research and Development Center for Nutrition and Food Ministry of Health in cooperation with PT Fonterra Brands Indonesia (2005) found that the prevalence osteoponia reached 41.8 percent and 10.3 percent had osteoporosis. That is, two out of five residents have a risk osteoporosis. The research in Indonesia was conducted in several regions in Indonesia, North Sumatra, Aceh, West Sumatra, Riau, Riau, Jambi, South Sumatra, the Pacific Islands, Bengkulu, Lampung, Jakarta Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, Yogyakarta, East Java, Bali, Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Maluku and Papua. The study involved a sample of up to 65,727 people (22,799 men and 42,928 women). Method of data collection is by examination of bone mass density, the parameters to measure bone density, and is performed by using a "Sahara Clinical Bone Sonometer". From the research data obtained that the prevalence of osteoporosis at the age of less than 55 years was higher in men, but after the age of 55 years, it was a higher prevalence of osteoporosis in women. Even at the age of two times the prevalence in women greater than men laki.Hal is probably due to a lifestyle that inhibits the absorption of calcium, such as smoking and alcohol consumption. Meanwhile, the increase in women over 55 years is most likely due to the hormone estrogen that has been dropped as menopause. According to Director General of Disease Control and Environmental Health Department, I Nyoman Kandun, there is a risk factor that can not be modified, namely age (the elderly population increases Indonesia 9.77 to 11.34 percent per year, the year 2005 reached 18.4 million people), gender, genetics, and race. Risk factors that can not be modified is immobility, lean posture, smoking, alcohol, carbonate drinks, caffeine, low nutrient intake, less exposure to sunlight, use of drugs in a long time (corticosteroids, sitostatika, anticonvulsants, anticoagulants / heparin, warfarin) , and good environtment. When World Osteoporosis Day event in Dubai, October 21, 2007, Chief Executive Officer Daniel Navid IOF declared, osteoporosis requires serious attention from governments in all countries, including Indonesia. Communities should be educated on the importance of nutrition, there must also be access to treatment for the people. "If you do not pay attention to the dangers of osteoporosis, the government will spend more to address its impact. Therefore, it is better to prevent osteoporosis," said Daniel Navid. According to Daniel Navid, if the spine has osteoporosis and do not get treatment, the person will become physically weak. Psychologically they do not lose hope and feel berguna.Pradeep Pant, Regional Managing Director of Fonterra, to the fact that one in three women and one in five men over 50 years in the world affected by osteoporosis. "There are three points that now we have to do, namely to make the government care about the dangers of osteoporosis; make people care about osteoporosis, and at once recognize the dangers of osteoporosis," said Pradeep Pant. Now, if we have been concerned about bone health, you should start taking calcium regularly. The sad thing is the fact that Indonesian society is still very low calcium: 254 mg per day. In fact, according to international standards, calcium should be consumed by adults is 1000-1200 mg/day. Beside of milk, calcium can be obtained from the daily diet such as cheese, yoghurt, dried anchovies, rebon, fresh anchovies, sardine cans, leaves papaya, spinach, mustard greens, broccoli, beans, soy milk, tempeh and tofu, and cereals such as jali and havermut. If cost or impact of osteoporosis treatments were expensive, why do not we start drinking more calcium that cost nothing and are all around we? Let's enjoy their old age without osteoporosis. Rosella ... * do not forget who is rich in calcium may help fight osteoporosis
