Bone Disorders

Bone Disorders

Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

The Oral Microbiota

The Oral Microbiota

The oral microbiome includes a complex ecosystem comprising over 700 microbial species, identified through genomic sequencing and culture-based analyses to date. This community includes a core microbiome, found universally among individuals, and a variable component influenced by environmental factors such as diet, lifestyle, and host genetics. Site-specific conditions, including oxygen gradients, pH levels, and nutrient availability, determine the spatial distribution of these microorganisms...

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling

Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption and remodeling. They originate from hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the bone marrow. Numerous progenitor cells fuse to form multinucleated cells, each with 10-20 nuclei. A single osteoclast has a diameter of 150 to 200 µM. These cells have ruffled borders that break down the underlying bone tissue and release minerals such as calcium into the blood in bone resorption. Osteoclasts cling to bones with their ruffled edges during bone...

Bone Remodeling

Bone Remodeling

Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

Essential Minerals for Bone Health

Essential Minerals for Bone Health

The minerals contained in all of the food we consume are essential for our organ systems. However, certain essential minerals, such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, and fluoride, largely affect bone health.
Calcium and Phosphorus
Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...

Teeth

Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...

Area of Science:

Gerontology
Public Health
Dental Medicine

Background:

Aging is a primary global health concern, associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs.
Socio-economic factors and social vulnerability contribute to poor health outcomes in the elderly.
Osteoporosis and periodontal disease are prevalent among the elderly, leading to significant health issues like fractures and tooth loss.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the public health impact of osteoporosis and periodontal disease in the aging population.
To emphasize the link between socio-economic conditions, social vulnerability, and health status in the elderly.
To advocate for the prevention of osteoporosis and periodontal disease to enhance the quality of life for older adults.

Main Methods:

This study is a review and analysis of existing public health data and epidemiological studies.
It examines the correlation between socio-economic determinants and the prevalence of age-related diseases.
Focuses on the impact of osteoporosis and periodontal disease on elderly populations.

Main Results:

Identified a strong correlation between socio-economic vulnerability and the prevalence of osteoporosis and periodontal disease in the elderly.
Quantified the public health burden associated with bone fractures and tooth loss due to these conditions.
Highlighted the disproportionate impact on vulnerable aging populations.

Conclusions:

Preventive strategies targeting osteoporosis and periodontal disease are crucial for improving elderly health.
Addressing socio-economic disparities can mitigate health risks associated with aging.
Enhanced public health interventions can lead to healthier and more meaningful lives for the elderly.
