Resumen

Se recomienda la detección de osteoporosis en mujeres mayores de 65 años y en mujeres posmenopáusicas más jóvenes con mayor riesgo. Las pruebas son insuficientes para determinar los beneficios del cribado para los hombres.

Área de la Ciencia:

Gerontología
La medicina preventiva
Salud ósea

Sus antecedentes:

Las fracturas osteoporóticas conducen a una morbilidad, mortalidad y pérdida de independencia significativas.
El Grupo de Trabajo de Servicios Preventivos de los Estados Unidos (USPSTF) revisó la evidencia sobre el cribado de la osteoporosis para prevenir fracturas.

Objetivo del estudio:

Evaluar los beneficios y perjuicios del cribado de la osteoporosis en adultos de 40 años o más sin un diagnóstico previo o antecedentes de fractura por fragilidad.

Principales métodos:

Revisión sistemática de las pruebas de detección de la osteoporosis.
Evaluación de los beneficios y daños en diversas poblaciones adultas.

Principales resultados:

Beneficio neto moderado para el cribado en mujeres mayores de 65 años y en mujeres posmenopáusicas menores de 65 años con mayor riesgo.
No hay pruebas suficientes para determinar los beneficios/daños del cribado en los hombres.

Conclusiones:

El cribado se recomienda para grupos específicos de mujeres en función de la edad y los factores de riesgo.
Se necesitan más investigaciones para establecer directrices de detección para los hombres.

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Role of Vitamins in Maintaining Bone Health

Role of Vitamins in Maintaining Bone Health

The growth and maintenance of bone are regulated by a combination of nutritional factors, including vitamins, such as vitamin A, B12, C, D, and K.
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...

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...

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...

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...
