Osteoporosis is a systemic disease characterized by low bone mass and destruction of bone tissue microstructure, leading to increased bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. It is a common disease in the elderly and its incidence is gradually increasing as people live longer and society ages. Osteoporosis has been listed by the World Health Organization as a worldwide important public health problem with high blood cholesterol and high blood pressure in the same level of danger. However, due to some one-sided propaganda and half-understanding of osteoporosis, there are many misunderstandings in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, which affect the effect of prevention and treatment. For this reason, this paper makes a review of the misconceptions in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. 1, drink bone soup can prevent osteoporosis In fact, the calcium content in a bowl of milk is much higher than a bowl of bone soup. For the elderly, bone broth dissolves a large amount of fat in the bone, and regular consumption may also cause other health problems such as hyperlipidemia. 2, treatment of osteoporosis is equal to calcium supplementation World Health Organization pointed out: calcium is the basic measure to prevent osteoporosis, calcium is a dietary supplement for osteoporosis, but can not be used as osteoporosis treatment drugs alone, only as a basic auxiliary drugs, patients should go to the regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment. 3, calcium supplementation is calcium tablets Some patients see osteoporosis clinic, often rushing to calcium tablets. Clinic doctors often encounter such questions: “What calcium tablets to take? How many tablets should I take?” In fact, calcium supplementation should be achieved through diet as much as possible, rather than going to the hospital to prescribe “calcium tablets”. Foods rich in calcium include: milk, fish, meat, beans and some seafood, but dairy products are preferred. Generally speaking, adults need to supplement calcium 600 mg per day, it is worth noting that eating too salty can also cause calcium loss. 4, calcium will eat more stones for many years, doctors have been warning patients with kidney stones to limit calcium intake, and the analysis of kidney stones also found that 80% of the stones are calcium. Research in recent years has debunked this theory, and doctors have come to the opposite conclusion – increasing calcium intake can reduce the risk of kidney stones. According to a recent study, women who eat more calcium-rich foods are less likely to develop kidney stone disease than women who eat less calcium. The U.S. National Institutes of Research suggests that an intake of less than 2 grams of calcium per day is safe. 5, osteoporosis 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 diet, and do not love outdoor exercise, it will give osteoporosis the opportunity to invade young people, especially young women. Therefore, prevention of osteoporosis should be started early so that the ideal peak bone mass can be obtained at a young age. 6.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 for this reason, 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. 7.Discovery of osteoporosis by self-perception Most patients with osteoporosis do not have abnormal sensations or do not feel obvious at the beginning. 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 a hospital with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry regularly for bone density tests, regardless of whether they have symptoms, to help understand changes in your bone density. 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 cause 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 will also affect the flexibility of joints, making it easy to fall and cause fractures.
