Osteoporosis is a metabolic disease. According to the "White Paper on the Prevention and Treatment of Osteoporosis in China", China is currently the world's largest country in terms of osteoporosis, with nearly half of the world's more than 200 million patients suffering from osteoporosis. But many people believe that osteoporosis is a disease that only elderly people can suffer from, and it is not a major illness. But in fact, this is not the case. The age at which osteoporosis occurs is gradually decreasing, and it is no longer the "patent" of the elderly. And it is very easy to cause falls, fractures, height reduction, and even death in severe cases. However, less than 1/10 of people in China are aware of osteoporosis, and the number of people who have undergone bone density testing is even smaller. Today, we will talk about who is prone to osteoporosis, how to prevent it, and how to seek medical attention correctly. After the age of 30, bone mass begins to lose. Skeletons are composed of inorganic and organic substances such as calcium and phosphorus. As the largest organ in the human body, strong bones protect our internal organs like iron walls. If we compare our bones to banks, our assets peak around the age of 30, and plummet after the age of 50. The incidence of osteoporosis in the population aged 50 and above in China is close to 1/51. If you don't deposit enough money in the bank early, as you age, your bones will have more "liabilities" and you won't be able to provide enough "pension". The data on changes in bone mass with age shows that osteoporotic fractures pose a significant risk. If a hip fracture occurs, about 20% of patients die from various complications within one year, and about 50% of survivors may become disabled. Half of the population may also experience a second fracture. In addition, fractures can also bring serious economic losses to patients and their families, with a direct medical cost of approximately 30000 yuan for a hip fracture. The reason for the youthfulness of osteoporosis is that office workers in cities spend most of their time sitting indoors and working. The busy work makes everyone physically and mentally exhausted, and there is little time for exercise. There are also many convenient transportation tools for going out during leisure time, which lack the motivation to exercise. But in fact, the bone is an organ that requires a lot of stimulation, especially through exercise to stimulate its metabolism, maintain bone vitality, increase bone density and quality. Vitamin D is a very important hormone, and the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the human body depends on the regulation of vitamin D, which is also the "nutrition" of the bone head. The need for vitamin D relies on ultraviolet radiation for conversion into human use. But now most young people don't have time to go out and bask in the sun, and many women even do it from head to toe. In addition to summer, cities are often shrouded in haze and lack effective sunlight conditions. Therefore, insufficient vitamin D has become a common phenomenon, and bones are very "hungry", no wonder there is a decrease in bone mass. A variety of soft drinks are indeed refreshing and appetizing. Many office workers rely on coffee or tea to survive every day, but excessive consumption of carbonated drinks, other caffeinated beverages, etc. can accelerate the loss of calcium in the bones, and excessive drinking is also the same. For many young women, maintaining a slim figure is a pursuit of beauty. However, excessive dieting, vegetarianism without meat, limiting protein intake, and low body mass can lead to a decrease in bone mass and early onset of osteoporosis. Nowadays, takeout has become a luxury
