DISCUSSION
 Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease
characterized by reduced bone strength leading to an
increase of fracture that occur following minimal
trauma (pathologic fracture) or in some case with no
trauma.
Bone strength has 2 main feature :
Bone mass (amount of bone)
Bone quality
 EPIDEMIOLOGY

In the US (2016), more 53 million peoples either

already have osteoporosis or are at high risk due
to low bone mass.
Osteoporosis can occur at any age (although, the
risk for developing disease increase as the person
gets older)
Affects 18-28% of women and 6-22% of men
over the age of 50 years old
Half of all postmenopausal women and a quarter
of men over 50 years old will have an
osteoporosis related fracture
Osteoporosis is divide into 3 Categories: Primary, Secondary, and Idiopathic

Primary Osteoporosis is osteoporosis that occurred in every ages group. divide

into Type I and Type II
Type I : Postmenopausal Osteoporosis
Type II : Senile Osteoporosis

Secondary Osteoporosis
An Osteoporosis that caused by an underlying disease, some drugs effect, etc.

Idiopathic Osteoporosis
An osteoporosis that occurred in juvenile, adolescent, or middle ages that caused by
an unknown condition.

 Generally patients are asymptomatic even
with very low bone densities
Hip Fractures
Acute or chronic back pain secondary to
vertebral fractures
Atraumatic or low impact fractures

24
 Patients who have sustained a vertebral
compression fracture may note progressive
kyphosis with loss of height. They may also
present with an episode of acute back pain
after bending, lifting, or coughing. It should be
noted, however, that two thirds of vertebral
fractures are asymptomatic.
Postmenopausal : dorsal kyphosis or gibbus
(Dowagers hump), loss of height, protuberant
abdomen, paravertebral muscle spasm, thin
skin.
History taking: risk factors
Physical examination: anthropometry, gait, deformity,
and ect
Supporting examination:
Laboratory: complete blood for basic disease
screening, 24 hour urine calcium, kidney function,
liver function, TSH level
Bone biochemistry
Radiology
Densitometry (Gold Standard)
Radiology

Not a sensitive modality, as more than 30-50%

bone loss is required to appreciate decreased bone density on radiograph

Normal BMD BMD above > - 1 SD from No
the young normal mean
Low BMD or
osteopenia BMD - 1 SD and 2.5 SD Prevention

Osteoporosis BMD is reduced < 2.5 SD Treatment

Severe or established BMD is reduced < 2.5 SD Treatment

osteoporosis in the presence of fractures
 Adequate nutrition, particularly calcium and vit. D
Calcium: 1000 1200 mg daily (diet plus supplementation)
Vitamin D: goal level of around 30-50 (most 1000 units
daily)
Weight bearing exercise
Discourage smoking
Discourage alcohol abuse
Reduction of risks for falling
Hip protectors: can be useful if worn properly but often have low
compliance.

30
 Nutritional Recommendations
Calcium ( >51 and older = 1200mg/d)
Vitamin D supplementation for daily intakes
(based on obtaining a serum level of 20
ng/mL). 400-800 IU for those >70 years.
Other nutrients such as salt, high animal
protein intakes, and caffeine may have modest
effects on calcium excretion or absorption.
Adequate vitamin K status is required for
optimal carboxylation of osteocalcin
 PHARMACOLOGY RECOMMENDATION

Bisphosphonates : Alendronate, risedronate, ibandronat, and zoledronic acid

are approved for the prevention and treatment of post-menopausal
osteoporosis. Alendronate, risedronate and zoledronic acid are also approved
for the treatment of steroid induced osteoporosis.

SERMs (Selective estrogen receptor modulators) raloxifene, tamoxifen,

bazedoxifene: used currently in postmenopausal women

Calcitonin : no longer used

Estrogen: oral estrogens (esterified estrogens : 0.3 mg/d, conjugated equine

estrogens : 0.625 mg/d, ethinyl estradiol : 5 g/d) transdermal estrogen, 50
g estradiol per day,
