osteopenia is defined as the phase of low bone density that precedes osteoporosis. At this stage, bone density below average, but not so low as it occurs in osteoporosis. World Health Organization has established a committee in 1994 to define osteoporosis, and four categories were defined: normal, osteopenia, osteoporosis and established osteoporosis. All these categories are measured bone density and fracture prevalence. In osteopenia, bone density


falls between one standard deviation and 2. 5 standard deviations below average. Risk factors include age, race, ethnicity and the use of hormones.


Although the treatment of osteoporosis is largely dependent on age and presence of fractures in women aged fifty and seventy can prevent it by taking


estrogen with calcium and exercise regularly. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, about 10 million women and 2 million people in the United States have osteoporosis. Men are the bones, which are much lasix 12.5mg bigger and stronger than women's bones, which is why women suffer from this condition more than men. However, men and women have similar risk factors for osteoporosis (eg, prolonged exposure to certain medications,


chronic diseases that affect the vital organs, undiagnosed low levels of testosterone


, habits, age , heredity, race), so the methods of intervention are similar. . << >>
