Primary osteoporosis is divided into two types:

Although osteoporosis

is devastating and debilitating disease, most experts

think it is very preventable. Osteoporosis is a disease of bone. It affects the bones

in the body, causing them to become structurally weak

. This in turn leads to low bone mass, deterioration

bone, weak bones and increased risk of fractures

. Femur, vertebrae (spine)

and wrist are the most sensitive parts of the body

to fractures, although this is not always the case

. It is believed that only in America over 28

million people aged over 50 suffer from osteoporosis >> << and he is also responsible for more >> << 1. 5000000 fractures. Osteoporosis affects

1 2 American women and 1 of 4

American men each year. Osteoporosis is an asymptomatic disease, most people

do not even know they have it and not show

warning signs or symptoms until a fracture occurs. Women especially need to increase the risk of the disease

. Although osteoporosis is usually

affects people aged over 50, it can happen

, in any age. Women are more prone to osteoporosis than men

and they account for about 80% of all cases of osteoporosis.

This does not mean that men do not

not suffer from this disease. Men suffering from osteoporosis >> << s, as well as their risk for this disease >> << doubles after 70 years. The main reason more women get >> << osteoporosis is genetics. Men are genetically stronger than women

and therefore have stronger bones, female

due to lower estrogen levels buy

about to menopause. In menopause, overalls

estrogen levels naturally slow, and this affects the possibility of suits

include calcium from the blood to the bone. Thus, making the bones weaker

. As mentioned earlier osteoporosis usually occurs without warning

. It was only after one gets

porous. As we can see if >> << We have osteoporosis? The best way to tell if a person has osteoporosis >> << should have bone density test known as bone mass measurement <<. >> This test helps determine bone density

Type I Type II. Type I primary osteoporosis occurs in 5

20% of women aged 50 to 75, as

to a sharp drop in estrogen levels due to menopause. Type I primary osteoporosis is also known as high turnover osteoporosis >>. This is because
