What is Osteopenia?
t score 1- 2.5 SD below normal BMD measures.

Osteoporosis >2.5 SD below Normal BMD
Odds of developing Osteoporosis in
The USA
males = 10 %
females= 40 %
Incidence of Osteoporosis,
28 million Americans have Osteoporosis
By age 50 = 40 % of females will have fractures( wrist /hip/spine)
By age 70= 90% of females will have hip fractures
Triad of Bone health
Good Bone health=
Independant living =
Longevity =
Facts and figures of Osteoporosis
1.5 million people will have fractures related to Osteoporosis
700 ,000 will have vertebral fx each year
250,000 will have wrist fx
Hip fx hospitalisations 300.000 each year
cost of treatment of fx 18 billion
= 38 million per day
Bone Density facts
peak bone density in health is achieved around 25-35 years of age.
men have greater BMD than woman
black woman have greater BMD than white
stronger the BMD in the early years
longer the density lasts to keep
Bone density facts
Bone mass decreases by 1-5% each year in a woman greater than 40 y/o age
Bone mass decreases < 1% each
year for men
Bone Histology/cell at work
Osteoblasts( osteogenesis)
osteoclasts (demineralise, resorption)
osteocytes ( maintain the bone balance)
Bone Histo- pathophysiology
Bone tissues are in a constant state of remodelling
Old bone is broken down and replaced by new bone.
Osteoporosis occurs when you loose more than you REBUILD
Bone Histo-pathophysiology
Osteoblasts (make collagen, hydroxyapatite)
Osteoclasts demineralise by by dissolving the mineral matrix makes
enzyme collagenase that break collagen that dissove hydroxyapatite
