Osteoporosis
I decided to write about osteoporosis because it affects a large amount of men and women from their early fifties and up. My major is kinesiology, therefore I am doing a research to learn about how physical inactivity can possibly cause osteoporosis. Osteoporosis, a skeletal disease, is when weakened bone that is not strong enough to perform the daily physical activities of an everyday average person, causing fractures and minor stresses. It is estimated that osteoporoses or low bone mass occurs in about over fifty-five percent of the population age fifty and over (Vilela 185). However, it is more common in women rather than men due to the fact that men …show more content…
Exercise can be a treatment that is preferred to make bones stronger. Osteoporosis is most common in postmenopausal women over the age of fifty and mostly due to the lost of estrogen and other sex hormones after menopause (Naegeli et al 579). In some cases, women will get put on hormone

Hip fractures are the most feared complications of osteoporosis in older adults, and are strongly associated with adverse outcomes, including higher mortality rates increased functional decline (Gunathilake et al). Osteoporosis is a common, serious, and costly disease. There are medicines such as steroids that can cause bone loss. In adults age 50 and above, osteoporosis can be very harmful as a simple fall can lead to many more serious injuries other than a fracture. The hip is the most common injury when a adult with osteoporosis falls. Overall, I believe that osteoporosis is a very serious disease. I believe the best way to stay prone from the disease is to keep a very healthy diet and plenty of physical activity to keep your bones …show more content…
