3. OSTEOPOROSIS - WHO
Systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone
mass and micro architectural deterioration of bone
tissue with a consequent increase in bone fragility
and susceptibility to fracture which usually involves
the wrist ,spine, hip, pelvis, ribs or humerus.
4. Most common of all metabolic bone disorders
Significant morbidity(50% for hip fractures)
and mortality(20% for hip fractures in 1 year)
Lifetime Osteoporotic Fracture Risk(Caucasian)
Woman- 40%
Men - 20%
Preventive therapies available.
Osteoporosis
5. Low bone density
Micro architectural deterioration
Fractures

16. • Osteoporosis, the "silent
disease," has bone loss
without symptoms.
• Onset only occurs with
sudden strains, bumps,
or fall causes a fracture
or a vertebra to collapse.
• Collapsed vertebrae may
initially be felt or seen in the form of severe back
pain, loss of height, or spinal deformities such as
kyphosis or stooped posture.
SYMPTOMS
29. • Prevent further bone loss
• Increase or at least stabilize bone density.
• Relieve pain and prevent fracture.
• Increase level of physical functioning
• Increase quality of life
Goals of management
32. COMPLICATIONS
FRACTURE ,
The most serious complication of
Osteoporosis that leads to
Increased morbidity
Increased mortality
Decreased quality of life
34. Each year, one in three Ontarians over
the age
of 65 will take a serious tumble that
may land
them in hospital with a broken hip.
One in three
of those who do break their hip will
die within
a year. Two thirds will experience
dementia-like
symptoms. Most will never see home
again.
