	Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease resulting from low bone mass (osteopenia) due to excessive bone resorption. Sufferers are prone to bone fractures from relatively minor trauma. Typical examples are the vertebral bodies, distal forearm and proximal femur. With bone densitometry it is now possible to determine individuals' risk of osteoporosis and monitor their response to treatment. By the age of 90, one in two women and one in six men are likely to sustain an osteoporosis-related fracture. The incidence of fractures is increasing more than would be expected from the ageing of the population, which may reflect changing patterns of exercise or diet. Osteoporosis may be classified as primary or secondary. Primary consists of type 1 osteoporosis, due to accelerated trabecular bone loss, probably because of oestrogen deficiency. This typically leads to crush fractures of vertebral bodies and fractures of the distal forearm in women in their 60s and 70s. Type 2 osteoporosis, by contrast, results from the slower age-related cortical and travecular bone loss that occurs in both sexes. It typically leads to fractures of the proximal femur in elderly people. Secondary osteoporosis accounts for about 20 per cent of cases in women and 40 per cent of cases in men. Subgroups include endocrine (thyrotoxicosis, primary hyperparathyroidism, cushing's syndrome and hypogonadism); gastrointestinal (malabsorption syndrome, e.g., coeliac disease, or liver disease, e.g., primary biliary cirrhosis); rheumatological (rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis); malignancy (multiple myeloma or metastatic carcinoma) and drugs (corticosteroids, heparin). Additional risk factors for osteoporosis include smoking, high alcohol intake, physical inactivity, thin body type and heredity. Individuals at risk of osteopenia, or with an osteoporosis-related fracture, need investigation with spinal radiography and bone densitometry. A small fall in bone density results in a large increase in the risk of fracture, which has important implications for preventing and treating osteoporosis. View products
