[Protocol for osteoporosis screening in CPTS]
1CPTS du Sud toulousain, 116 avenue Louis-Pasteur, 31600 Muret, France.
Abstract:
Osteoporosis is a chronic disease that affects bone density and quality, making the skeleton more fragile and susceptible to fracture in the event of minor trauma, or even spontaneously in the most severe cases. It seriously affects patients' quality of life and generates considerable costs for healthcare systems. Given this situation, early detection and management of this disease is crucial. With this in mind, the Communauté Professionnelle Territoriale de Santé (CPTS) in southern Toulouse has developed a care pathway based on a cooperation protocol designed to facilitate screening for the disease.

01:29Bone Disorders
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...

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...

Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...

Vitamin A
Vitamin A is involved in the process of bone remodeling. Retinoic acid, the active metabolite of Vitamin A, has nuclear receptors in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are involved in bone remodeling.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor during the formation of osteoblast-related proteins, such as osteocalcin. Vitamin B12 plays a role...
