In osteoporosis, the bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced, bone microarchitecture deteriorates, and the amount and variety of proteins in bone are altered. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOsteoporosis is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a bone mineral density of 2.5 standard deviations or more below the mean peak bone mass (average of young, healthy adults) as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; the term \"established osteoporosis\" includes the presence of a fragility fracture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe disease may be classified as primary type 1, primary type 2, or secondary. The form of osteoporosis most common in women after menopause is referred to as primary type 1 or postmenopausal osteoporosis. Primary type 2 osteoporosis or senile osteoporosis occurs after age 75 and is seen in both females and males at a ratio of 2:1. Secondary osteoporosis may arise at any age and affect men and women equally. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis form results from chronic predisposing medical problems or disease, or prolonged use of medications such as glucocorticoids, when the disease is called steroid- or glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe risk of osteoporosis fractures can be reduced with lifestyle changes and in those with previous osteoporosis related fractures medications. Lifestyle change includes diet, exercise, and preventing falls. The utility of calcium and vitamin D is questionable in most. Bisphosphonates are useful in those with previous fractures from osteoporosis but are of minimal benefit in those who have osteoporosis but no previous fractures. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOsteoporosis is a component of the frailty syndrome.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Redeye Music Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47094912811248,"sku":"0607396651528","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/0607396651528_p0.jpg?v=1764045601","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0607396651528","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
