Life is motion. Life processes decrease when a person's mobility decreases.
Therefore, "The essence of human nature is in motion" ✍️ Blaise Pascal
Which organ actively helps the movement of our skeleton 🤔
Of course, the joints. And they are located where there are distinctly expressed movements.
Therefore, as an integral organ, the joint takes an important part in the implementation of the supporting and motor functions.
But with age, the human body changes. Our cells, tissues and organs are changing. Cells gradually increase, lose the ability to actively divide and perform their functions. Tissues become less dense, stiff and less mobile. Bone density decreases, so bones break more easily. As people age, they get sick more often. Since a large load falls on the joints when moving, this organ is prone to various kinds of diseases. The most common of these are: osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
What is osteoparosis? ❓❓❓
Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become thinner and weaker, making them more likely to fracture. This is a systemic disease that affects all the bones of the skeleton. Osteoporosis of the bones is accompanied by a decrease in bone density and strength, which leads to a high risk of fractures even with minimal trauma, such as a fall from one's own height or lifting a load of about 10 kilograms.
The most common fractures of joints and bones in osteoporosis:
fracture of the radius in the "typical place"
fractures of the femoral neck (50% of patients remain disabled)
Compression fractures of the spine
Because brittle fractures often result in long-term disability, pain, and reduced quality of life, immediate action is needed to maintain bone health and reduce the risk of fractures.
The data show that there are 160 million osteoporosis patients in China. The incidence of osteoporosis over 50 years is 25%, and the incidence over 60 years is 58%.
Fractures of the intervertebral disc in women over 50 years of age have a high risk of death.
According to the World Health Organization, osteoporosis is a global problem second only to cardiovascular disease, and women over 50 have the same risk of dying from a disc fracture as the death rate from breast cancer. So it could also be one of the killers for the woman.
There are the following main forms of osteoporosis:
Primary osteoporosis:
Type I (postmenopausal) develops during menopause in women;
Type II (senile) occurs with the same frequency in women and men of elderly and senile age (70 years and older)
Secondary osteoporosis is a complication of many diseases - endocrine, inflammatory (especially rheumatic), hematological, gastroenterological, etc. or drug therapy and can develop at any age, both in women and men.
What causes osteoporosis?
Factors contributing to the development of osteoporosis:
Women are affected much more often than men. So, during the first five years after the onset of menopause, women lose ¼ of their bone mass. Early (before age 45) and surgical menopause (after removal of the ovaries) increase the risk of osteoporosis.
Diseases that limit movement activity can contribute to the development of osteoporosis. Therefore, low physical activity can contribute to the development of osteoporosis.
Chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, accompanied by a decrease in the absorption of nutrients, vitamins, macro- and microelements, disrupt bone metabolism.
Kidney disease leading to the development of chronic renal failure
Endocrine diseases, long-term use of glucocorticoid hormones and thyroid hormones (L-thyroxine) is an additional risk factor
Bad habits (smoking, alcohol abuse, coffee)
Hereditary predisposition
How to suspect osteoporosis?
Symptoms of osteoporosis. Signs of osteoporosis☝
The disease is often detected in the later stages, when there is already a pronounced decrease in bone density. Osteoporosis does not cause any pain until a fracture develops. No wonder the disease is called the "silent epidemic". That is why it is important to pay attention to such signs of the development of the disease as a decrease in height by several centimeters, a change in posture (the formation of a thoracic kyphosis of the "hump")
Diagnosis of osteoporosis☝️☝️☝️
The only method that allows you to confirm the diagnosis and detect the disease in the early stages is bone densitometry (measurement of bone density, determination of bone density). This study can be done either in the direction of the clinic, or on a paid basis.
The main directions of prevention of osteoporosis:
1. Physical activity - gymnastics, isometric
sky exercises, swimming.
2. Proper nutrition - a meal high in protein, calcium and vitamin D (dairy products) and relatively low in phosphate, salt and fiber.
3. Elimination of risk factors for osteoporosis - smoking, excessive intake of alcohol, caffeine (less than 4 cups per day), heavy physical exertion.
4. Elimination of risk factors for accidental loss of balance - correction of visual impairment, if possible, exclusion of the use of sleeping pills and sedative drugs.
5. Early detection and treatment, take various preventive measures to slow down osteoporosis.
What is rheumatoid arthritis? ❓❓❓
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease in which the membranes around the joints become inflamed, releasing cytokines that wear down the surrounding cartilage and cause loss of bone mass adjacent to the affected joints.
RA is most common among the elderly, and children and young adults can also be affected. The incidence of women is 2-3 times higher than that of men.
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis often experience pain, swelling, and stiffness in the affected joints, as well as limited movement. This can seriously affect the ability to perform daily tasks. If left untreated, rheumatoid arthritis can cause permanent joint damage.
The image shows the knee cartilage.
When a person gets older, cartilage degeneration occurs, cartilage wears out, the meniscus, bone spurs collapse.
Healthy cartilage is depicted on the left, and Worn cartilage is depicted on the right.
Pain when lifting and lowering, soreness and discomfort when walking. The disability rate is number one in the world and reaches 53%.
Patients with arthritis worldwide, the total number reaches 455 million people.
The difference between associated rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis ☝️☝️☝️
Rheumatoid arthritis accelerates the process of bone loss and is therefore a recognized risk factor for osteoporosis.
Thus, compared with the general population of rheumatoid arthritis, people with this disease have an increased risk of brittle fractures by 1.5 times.
The more severe the rheumatoid arthritis, the more bone is affected. It is important to note that compared to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis (the more common form of arthritis) is not associated with a higher risk of osteoporosis.
On the left side of the image, a normal hand and bone are shown.
On the right is a hand with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis.
Causes of osteoporosis
In the bones, two opposite processes constantly occur - the formation and destruction (bone resorption) of bone tissue.
For the effective formation of new bone tissue, a building material is required, in the synthesis of which many organs and systems of the body take part: through the gastrointestinal tract, proteins, carbohydrates, fats (the main building material and energy source), minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, which give bone density.
The endocrine system is involved in the regulation of metabolism and the intensity of the processes of formation and destruction of bone tissue. The kidneys produce active vitamins that help build bones. Thanks to the muscles, bone growth is accelerated.
In case of malfunction of at least one link of this complex system, the balance of bone tissue formation and its destruction occurs.
Many diseases can lead to the development of osteoporosis.
All risk factors for the development of osteoporosis are usually divided into modifiable (which can be controlled) and non-modifiable (those that cannot be influenced).
❗❗❗ Modifiable risk factors include:
●tobacco smoking;
• inadequate calcium intake;
• vitamin D deficiency;
• alcohol abuse;
• taking glucocorticosteroids for more than three months;
• low physical activity;
• prolonged immobilization (immobility).
❗❗❗Non-modifiable risk factors for osteoporosis include:
• age over 65;
• female;
• European race;
• previous fractures;
• low bone mineral density;
• slope
