Core Tip: Nowadays, many people have misconceptions about osteoporosis and simply choose calcium supplements to simply solve the problem of osteoporosis or to prevent it. In fact, calcium supplementation is not a treatment for osteoporosis, even if we drink more ribs soup can not prevent and treat the problem of osteoporosis. Recently, a special training activity was conducted in Shanghai for osteoporosis patients in the community. According to statistics, 70 million people in China suffer from osteoporosis, and more than half of them are female patients, and these female patients are easy to fracture due to osteoporosis, and a considerable number of patients are already paying attention to calcium supplementation and other measures, but at the same time there are some misconceptions about its use. Osteoporosis is mainly because the bone density, stock quality decreases resulting in brittle bones and easy risk of fracture. Our human bones reach their peak at the age of 30 and then decline year by year, especially in the elderly. Women are more likely to suffer from osteoporosis after menopause due to the decrease in estrogen. Osteoporosis is also related to long-term diet, which leads to osteoporosis due to nutritional deficiency and calcium deficiency. In addition, people who love to smoke and drink coffee are also more likely to suffer from osteoporosis. Patients with osteoporosis are prone to fractures Patients with osteoporosis are prone to the risk of fractures, especially of the vertebrae, due to low bone density. Although we have a lot of knowledge about osteoporosis, there are still patients who suffer from fractures due to lack of knowledge in this area. After statistics, it was found that 14% of patients have moderate fracture changes in the spine that the patients themselves are not aware of. And there is a female bias, with a ratio of women to men of 2:1. According to statistics, vertebral fractures occur in one out of two people over 80 years of age, so this is something we cannot ignore. Is calcium supplementation sufficient for osteoporosis? Nowadays, many people have misconceptions about osteoporosis and only choose calcium supplementation to simply solve the problem of osteoporosis or to prevent it. In fact, calcium supplementation is not a treatment for osteoporosis, even if we drink more ribs soup can not prevent and control the problem of osteoporosis. Of course osteoporosis is not a disease unique to the elderly, friends can not rely on self-perception to find out whether they have osteoporosis, so it is better to have a regular physical examination than good. It is also incorrect to stop exercising if a fracture has occurred due to osteoporosis. Normal human bones still need constant exercise and stimulation to improve osteoporosis through physical exercise. In addition to timely calcium supplementation, the elderly should also get more sunlight and supplement vitamin D, so that calcium can be absorbed, otherwise we eat more calcium is also a waste of no effect. If the problem is very serious due to osteoporosis, it is recommended to visit the local orthopedic or geriatric department to find the problem in time to explain the solution, which will help reduce the occurrence of fractures, especially spinal fractures.
