Woman is the axle around whom the family, society nay! The whole universe is revolving .So her health is of utmost importance at all stages of life more so in Menopause


Women have to spend more years in menopause as life expectancy is increasing from 26 yrs in Roman era to 65 yrs in India 80 yrs average world wide.

Average age of menopause is 46-52 yrs so they have to spend 1/3 of their life in menopause

More women are there in menopause and more problems are being recognised

No family ,social or state support system ,so they have to remain active.

Bone withOsteoporosis

NormalBone

Osteoporosis causes weak bones. In this common disease, bones lose strength . They become fragile and break easily. Fracture even on fall from standing height or silent vertebral fractures

Often called the “silent disease”

Bone loss occurs without

symptoms First sign may be

a fracture due to weakened bones

A sudden strain ,bendingor bump can break a bone


The number of osteoporotic hip fractures has quadrupled in the past decade

1 out of 3 females in India suffers from osteoporosis, largest affected.

26 million with the numbers projected to increase to 36 million by 2013.(Osteoporosis Society of India (2003)

By 2050 1 out of 2 hip fractures would occur in Asia A woman’s risk of developing an osteoporosis-related hip

fracture is equal to her combined risk of developing breast uterine and ovarian cancer.

Osteoporosis is for elderly women Fact is it can strike at any age

You’re never too young or old to improve bone health! So start at any age.


By DXA SCAN

WHO CLASSIFICATION NORMAL A T-score

within 1 SD (+1 or -1) of the young adult

OSTEOPENIA A T-score of 1 to 2.5 SD below the young adult mean (-1 to - 2.5 SD)

OSTEOPOROSIS A T-score of 2.5 SD or more below the young adult mean (> - 2.5 SD)

It takes about 10 years for change of 1 SD


For each standard deviation decrease in femoral neck BMD,there is an approximate 2.5-fold increased risk of hip fracture.

HIP


Hip fractures account for 300,000 hospitalizations annually.Costs involved is very heavy in lacs for individual and in billions for the State

RISK OF DYING WIHTIN FIVE YEARS IS DOUBLEDYou may not be able to

walk again!!


Most of time undiagnosed 500,000 spinal fractures,compression or wedge fractures,

Losing height .>2cms Back pain Kyphosis In extreme cases chest

compression Abdominal space reduced and

problems of eating and digestion

SILENT FRACTURES OF BACK BONES!

200,000 broken wristsLimited movement Quality of life impaired

Calcium is deposited and withdrawn from bones daily.

Bones build to about age 30.

We need to build up a healthy bone account while young and continue to make deposits with age.


After mid-30’s, you begin to slowly lose bone mass at increased rate of 4-5% /yr

Women lose bone mass faster after menopause,

Bones can weaken early in life without a healthy diet and the right kinds of physical activity.


If you have any of these “red flags,” you could be at high risk for weak bones. Talk to your doctor.
