Osteoporosis Young Women

Osteoporosis Young Women
NOT only strike the elderly, osteoporosis is now beginning to love toward the young. Unhealthy lifestyle and eating less precise nutrition, touted as the culprits.

The perception that osteoporosis or bone disease is a disease of older people, should be immediately abandoned. In fact, today women at a younger age have shown a potentially life-style of the increasing symptoms of osteoporosis in their bones. This is certainly a form of warning in itself.


Osteoporosis Young Women
Want proof? Data International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) in 2009 states, the Philippines and Indonesia the country with the worst record in terms of bone density condition. Indonesian women at age 25 to 65 years at highest risk of osteoporosis compared to other Asian countries. On the other hand, the results of data analysis Kemenkes Nutrition Research 2006 showed that two out of five women Indonesia has the potential to osteoporosis.

"That must be understood today's society is the importance of maintaining the condition of the bones. Moreover, in general, the peak bone density is reached at age 25 to 35 years, "

Osteoporosis is a bone disease characterized by decreased bone mass density that makes bones become thin, brittle, and easily cracked up to fracture. After experiencing the development of peak bone mass at age 30, the body no longer able to form enough new bone. Or it could be due to the absorption of old bone that has been aged too much, then there was this disease.

Osteoporosis, according to him, almost does not cause obvious symptoms (silent disease), except when the bones cracked and broken, the patient will feel pain. Location of fracture is often the case, namely the spine, hip, and wrist. "Broken bones in the spine and pelvis can be a cause of chronic pain and long-term disability,"

Osteoporosis Young Women
The danger, osteoporosis is more fun to attack the weaker sex because women less bone mass than men. Especially since menopause, estrogen hormone that is needed to help the absorption of calcium in the bones decreases drastically. Lifestyle of young people today can also lead to osteoporosis, including excessive consumption of salt, cigarettes, coffee, sodas, and alcohol.

"Lifestyle of Indonesia's population such as avoiding hot sun for fear of being black, use a sun block, air conditioned, indoor spaces antipanas coated glass can also be a trigger of osteoporosis because the sun's UV rays is good for bone health," how important it is for young and active women bone and joint health investment through a healthy lifestyle, as well as proper nutrition.

Statistically, the fragility due to osteoporosis are estimated to occur every three seconds around the world. In fact, the sad fact, in the age range of 25 years each resident of a state, detected 25 percent of them at risk of developing this disease. However, osteoporosis can be treated with lifestyle changes and appropriate treatment.

Osteoporosis Young Women
"Those who are genetically at risk of potentially greater risk of osteoporosis, as well as those with a body or the proportion of small bones," he said. The solution, ensure adequate calcium intake as needed, can be through milk, dairy products, fish, nuts, tofu, tempeh, and green vegetables.

Make sure the protein intake is also not less. Protein deficiency is a risk factor for fractures and also a negative effect on the process of healing from a broken bone. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, have less weight, and consume vegetables and fruits in sufficient quantities.

Osteoporosis Young Women
"When you go on a diet to lose weight, make sure the intake of calcium and vitamin D remain fulfilled. Avoid overly restrictive diets or fad diets, ". The results in 14 Asian countries reflect the low calcium intake of Asians, which is an average only 450 mg of the required 1,300 mg per day. In addition, the expansion of the aging population in Asia also gave concerns about the emergence of the problem of osteoporosis in the period of 2050.

In general, the results of this study highlights the regional conclusion that at the age of 35 years, one of three people in the region at risk of suffering from osteoporosis.

Regular exercise such as walking and drinking high-calcium milk, according to him, is a simple preventive measures are always socialized Anlene to the public.
