24.01.2022 Osteoporosis is a very common condition. It affects approximately 2.2 million Australians. In Australia, 27% of women and 11% of men over the age of 60 have osteoporosis. People with osteoporosis were 2.7 times more likely to describe their health as poor and 2.9 times more likely to experience high levels of psychological distress. Of people reaching 50 years of age, the lifetime risk of fracture due to osteoporosis is 42% in women and 27% in men....

20.01.2022 Osteoporotic fractures most commonly occur at the hip, spine and wrist and these are the areas that are checked during a bone scan for osteoporosis. Fractures of the spine are the most common of the three but are often undiagnosed, being dismissed as back pain due to ageing. Fractures of the spine can lead to loss of height of the vertebrae and increased curvature of the spine. These symptoms are often attributed to poor posture and part of the ageing process but in fact may ...be due to wedge fractures and crush fractures to the vertebrae. Fractures of the hip can lead to significant disability, often taking 6-12 months to recover from and sometimes requiring surgery to stabilise the area. Less than 50% of people who suffer hip fracture return to their pre-injury autonomy and roughly 10-20% of patients die within 1 year of having a hip fracture.

02.01.2022 Cortical bone is the outer layer of the bone. It is very strong especially when under compression forces along the length of the bone. With osteoporosis this outer layer of bone becomes thinner. Trabecular bone lies inside the cortical bone and has a honeycomb-like structure. This structure is formed based on the stress placed on the bone e.g. muscles contracting pull on the bones to stimulate the formation of bone in a structure supporting these forces. In osteoporosis there... is a reduction in the density of the trabecular bone.

01.01.2022 Our bones develop and grow from childhood until our early 20s, when peak bone mass is achieved. At this age our bones are at their strongest and least likely to fracture. Throughout life, old bone is constantly being replaced with new bone. The body naturally strengthens areas of bones that are regularly put under load, laying down new bone and breaking down the old bone. This process keeps our skeleton strong. In osteoporosis significantly more bone is broken down than is re...placed with new bone, causing the bone to progressively become more brittle and more likely to break.
