Osteoporose is a disease causadora of the weakness of the bones, that can take the spontaneous fractures or with small efforts. Another definition, according to Zerbini 1998, is a disease bony-sistêmica, characterized by a decrease of the mass and deterioration of the microarquitetura of the bony fabric with the consequent increase of the fragility of the bone and susceptibility of fractures.
Usually, the internal part of the bone seems a sponge. With the osteoporose it is as if the holes in the sponge began to be larger and more numerous. The bones are with your reduced resistances and much more sensitive to you fracture. The osteoporose progresses without symptoms or pain until that it happens fracture, usually in the basin, column or fist. This disease is one of the largest problems of public health in Brazil, with a third of the women in the menopause, being affected and, among those, half develops fractures. According to data of IBGE, the osteoporose would tend to increase among the Brazilians, of 7.5 million in 1980 for 15 million in 2000. However, the lack of prevention of the osteoporose should result about in some fracture type for the women''s half of the 70 years and for two thirds to the 80 years of age. Among American, it is the disease of more common bones among the women. He/she/you is considered that is the cause of more than 1,5 million fractures a year, where 300 thousand in basin, 700 thousand in the vertebras, 250 thousand in the fists and 300 thousand of fractures in other parts of the body. It is the considered illness, the second problem of public health in the USA in women, with a cost for the American safes in about 13,8 billion dollars a year, and without treatment and screen is considered costs of 30 billion dollars for in 2020.
In spite of the osteoporose to affect more of the half of the feminine population above 65 years, the man is also reached. When rights risk factors are present, the probability of presenting osteoporose increases. Therefore, it is important to determine the risk of to present the disease and to take the preventive measures. The causes of the osteoporose are more related with the menopause and the advanced age. The consequences of the osteoporose include: pain, deformities in the column, decrease of the height, disability and loss of the independence, in the case of some fractures.
The preventive measures understand the ingestion of appropriate amount of calcium, physical exercises, the hipoestrogenismo correction and the control of the factors that you/they favor the fractures. The osteoporose can be avoided the bony loss it be detected early, through the bony densitometria
