Osteoporosis is a common disease that seriously threatens the health of middle-aged and elderly people, especially the health of postmenopausal women, and the resulting pain, fractures and other complications not only greatly reduce the quality of life of the patients themselves, but also bring a heavy economic and living burden to society and families. 1999 survey found that the prevalence of osteoporosis in China over the age of 60, lumbar spine 2 to 4: 11% and 21% for men and women respectively; femoral neck: 11% and 27% respectively. The prevalence of osteoporosis in China was found to be 11% and 21% in the femoral neck and 11% and 27% in the femoral neck. Osteoporosis is present in 1/3 to 1/2 of postmenopausal women. In the United States, the disease causes approximately 1.5 million fractures each year, and the medical costs associated with it exceed $10 billion. One third of women over the age of 65 will suffer a vertebral fracture, and at older ages, one third of women and one sixth of men will suffer a hip fracture, 20% of whom will die from complications resulting from the fracture, and another 30% will require long-term home care. However, such a serious disease is not taken seriously in real life, so that after the serious harm occurs, it is too late to regret! Although some people are aware of the dangers of the disease, but do not know how to prevent and control. 1, drink bone soup can prevent osteoporosis. Experiments have proven that the calcium content in the same bowl of milk is much higher than a bowl of bone broth. For the elderly, bone broth dissolves a lot of fat in the bone, and regular consumption may also cause other health problems. It is important to pay attention to a varied diet, eat less fatty food, insist on drinking milk, and should not consume too much protein and caffeine. 2, treatment of osteoporosis is equal to calcium supplementation. Simply put osteoporosis is caused by abnormalities in bone metabolism (osteoclasts affect more than osteoblasts in the body, and the rate of bone resorption exceeds the rate of bone formation). Therefore, the treatment of osteoporosis is not just calcium supplementation, but comprehensive treatment to improve bone mass, enhance bone strength and prevent fractures. Patients should go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment. 3. Osteoporosis is a phenomenon unique to the elderly and has nothing to do with young people. Osteoporosis is not the “patent” of the elderly, if you neglect exercise in your youth, often picky or dieting, unbalanced diet structure, resulting in low calcium intake in the diet, thin body, and do not refuse bad hobbies, so that the ideal amount and quality of peak bone can not be achieved, it will give osteoporosis the opportunity to invade young people, especially young of women. Therefore, prevention of osteoporosis should be started early so that the ideal peak bone mass can be obtained at a young age. 4. It is too late to treat osteoporosis in the elderly. Many elderly people think that osteoporosis cannot be reversed and that treatment is no longer effective in old age, so they give up treatment, which is a great pity. From the point of view of treatment, the earlier the treatment, the better the effect. Therefore, once the elderly are diagnosed with osteoporosis, they should receive regular treatment to reduce the pain and improve the quality of life. 5.Discovery of osteoporosis by self-perception. Most patients with osteoporosis do not have abnormal sensations or feel insignificant in the early stage. Do not rely on self-perception to detect osteoporosis, and do not wait until you notice your back pain or fracture before going to the clinic. High-risk groups should go to hospitals with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry for regular bone density tests, regardless of symptoms, to help understand changes in your bone density. 6, osteoporosis is a minor disease, treatment does not need to be trivial. Osteoporosis is usually more than just back pain, once a fragility fracture occurs, especially hip fracture in elderly patients, resulting in long-term bed rest and high mortality. 7, osteoporosis treatment on their own medication can be, without the need to see a specialist. For patients who have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, they should go to a regular hospital early and receive comprehensive treatment from a specialist. 8, osteoporosis is prone to fracture, it is better to be still than to move. Maintaining normal bone density and bone strength requires constant exercise stimulation, and lack of exercise will result in bone loss. Physical exercise has a positive effect on the prevention of osteoporosis. In addition, if you do not pay attention to physical exercise and osteoporosis occurs, muscle strength will also be reduced, and the stimulation of bones will be further reduced. This will not only accelerate the development of osteoporosis, but also affect the flexibility of the joints and make it easy to fall and cause fractures. 9. After fracture surgery, the bones are normal. The occurrence of a fracture often means that the osteoporosis has become very serious. Fracture surgery is only a form of treatment for localized lesions, while the risk of fracture in the whole body bones has not been changed. Therefore, we not only need to actively treat fractures, but also need to objectively evaluate our bone health in order to diagnose and treat osteoporosis in a timely manner and prevent further fractures from occurring
