PROPHYLAXIS OF OSTEOPOROSIS – NATURE AND OPPORTUNITIES
Keywords:
prevention, management, osteoporosis (OP), peak bone mass (PBM)Abstract
The osteoporosis is e disease, developed as a result of disruptions in bone remodeling processes. Bones lose mineral density, bone microarchitecture is disrupted, which leads to increased likelihood of fractures.
Since its easier and cheaper to prevent the loss of bone mass, from medical and socio-economic standpoint, it’s needed to give high importance to prevention.
The goal of this paper is to highlight the main elements of prophylaxis of osteoporosis and the opportunities for management and control of the complications.
The prophylaxis of osteoporosis is built upon principles aimed towards maintenance and improvement the quality of life of every individual. The goal of first order prophylaxis is to achieve peak bone mass in children and teenagers. This implies incentivizing them to take part in various activities that have impact of bone formation. The second order prophylaxis is in adults, aged between 40 and 50, when little increases in bone mass could be achieved through physical exercises. The third order prophylaxis is for senior citizens, especially in cases suffering from osteopenia or osteoporosis. This time, the aim is to preserve the bone mass, to reduce the risk of falls, to improve posture, to reduce pain and improve the mobility and functionality of the patient. It’s important patients to be motivated the taught to control and manage their disease, through the plethora of opportunities for treatment and prophylaxis. Even though that there are many pharmaceutical products to treat osteoporosis, prophylaxis remains by far the most efficient method.
