From childhood onwards, as "bone bank" save money

Today is world day for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, theme: stand up for your bones. Experts remind you--from childhood up for the "bone bank" save yixiaofeng Department of Harbin medical university affiliated hospital of rheumatic diseases and Geriatrics section chief physician Nie Yingkun Zhu Xiuying osteoporosis is recognized as the "silent epidemic". Age of occurrence of the disease earlier than people think, even twenty or thirty years, and he began. In all common bone disease, being people of research up to the most difficult to resolve is osteoporosis. Experts warned: If you want to prevent osteoporosis, you must start from childhood and throughout one's life. Bent back camel bones due to changing "brittle" is based on bone mass in osteoporosis, bone microstructure degradation characteristics of a body of metabolic bone disease, associated with brittle bone increases, prone to fracture. Osteoporosis is called the "silent killer" because you can't feel the bone loss slowly, and early without early warning signals, no obvious clinical symptoms, until the women after menopause, senile people feeling low back pain, or bent back ', when the height is low, people think is the law of natural development, and nothing so strange. Even if some people think of osteoporosis is in "work" will not like the treatment of acute cerebral hemorrhage, myocardial infarction or malignancy that attention. In fact, over 50 years old and various fractures caused by osteoporosis in females is 40%, than the proportion of breast cancer, cardiovascular disease and harm is much higher. Where older persons occurs after osteoporotic fractures of the hip, about 15%~20% died from complications in a year, there is still more than half of people with disabilities in survivors, daily life cannot. Which people to on bones special care bone loose of high risk crowd main including: in the elderly, and menopause Hou female and suffers from following disease of crowd--endocrine disease, as diabetes, and thyroid and parathyroid disease, and limb end mast syndrome,; blood system disease, as acute leukemia, and multiple bone marrow disease,; liver renal disease, as chronic liver disease, and cirrhosis, and liver cancer and chronic renal function does not full, and uremia,; other disease, as absorption bad comprehensive syndrome, and bone softening syndrome, and spinal joint disease, and rheumatoid sexual arthritis,. In addition, long-term use prednisone, dexamethasone, hydrocortisone, Lu Mina, phenytoin sodium, acid agents, diuretics, anticoagulants, thyroid hormones and other drugs, and is also susceptible to osteoporosis "entanglement". Against osteoporosis of high-risk groups, the condition should be regular bone mineral density measurement, supplemental calcium and vitamin d, and the appropriate amount of estrogen replacement therapy. Bone mass in childhood does not save old pain of bone development in childhood and adolescence is a critical stage, about 20 years ago to have a peak bone density more than 90% of bone mass, 30 bone mass reached the highest value, called "bone spikes." And the best, the optimal peak bone mass and prevent loss of bone mineral, is undoubtedly the key to fight osteoporosis and invasion. As if a person deposits in a bank when I was young is adequate, will be able to pay the consumption needs of the elderly. Although the level of peak bone mass 70%~80% subject to genetic factors, but there are 20%~30% depends on environmental factors. Study confirmed that attention to rational diet, the strengthening of physical exercise, are conducive to bone mineral storage, establishment of peak bone mass. Therefore, should start from childhood eating food containing high calcium, such as dairy products, soy products, shrimp, fish, mushrooms, fungus, green leafy vegetables and adequate protein. At the same time note that receive enough sunlight and appropriate vitamin d supplementation, to facilitate the absorption of calcium. Advising people to quit smoking limit alcohol, the amount of tea and coffee, carbonated drink less beverage, attention to balanced diet. At the same time to promote regular exercise, running, walking, climbing stairs, skipping, swim, play shuttlecock, helps to increase peak bone mass.
