Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/20/2016 -- Osteoporosis is a progressive, skeletal disease, leading to fragile and abnormally porous bones. It is characterized by decrease in bone density, strength, and micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue resulting in thinning or weakening of bones with an increased propensity of fractures. Primary and secondary osteoporosis are the major types of osteoporosis. Some of the factors leading to osteoporosis are genetic factor, aging, lack of calcium and vitamin D, smoking, lack of exercise, low body weight, excessive alcohol consumption, history of rheumatoid arthritis, menopause, and certain medication. Osteoporosis can be diagnosed using X-ray and can be confirmed by bone density scan. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is the common bone density test used to measure the density of bones. Treatment for osteoporosis begins with a change in lifestyle and diet. It can be prevented and treated with the help of calcium and vitamin D supplements, exercise, and osteoporosis medications. Prevalence of osteoporosis is high among people aged 60 years and above. Moreover, estrogen plays a vital role in regulating the bone growth process in women. Post menopause, bone breakdown outpaces the building of new bone matter. The rate of bone loss in women increases after menopause, leading to the threat of developing osteoporosis.
