9 Osteoporosis Risk group

Osteoporosis is a condition significantly reduced bone mass that leads to low bone density. Osteoporosis is a disease that comes secretly.
Anyone who is at risk at high risk for osteoporosis? Here are nine categories that include a higher risk of bone loss.

1. Patients Hyperparathyroid
Despite of the low percentage of occurrence, a parathyroid hormone which is located in front of our neck adjacent to the thyroid gland, may be susceptible to malignancy or tumor. In this situation, the amount of circulating hormones in the body will increase. Though, as we know, this hormone is closely related to osteoclast cells in the bone. As a result, the cells will have increased activity of osteoclast.
Will be more calcium compounds derived from the bone, causing a rapid increase in blood calcium levels. Such conditions cause patients decreased appetite, decline in muscle strength, abdominal pain, and bone loss when there is continued.

2. Hyperthyroid patients
Another name for hyperthyroidism is basedow. Symptoms of people with quite diverse, not at one another. However, it is generally characterized by easy sweating, weakness, nervousness, irritability, anxiety, agitation, unable to sleep, hungry and hold (oddly enough, even though it was eating, weight even decreased), constipation or even diarrhea, trembling hands, irregular menstrual , blood pressure rises, easy hair loss, and bone loss.
The cause of hyperthyroidism is excessive levels of the hormone thyroxine produced by the thyroid gland. As a result, the exchange of substances in the body rise far above normal. Governing body's metabolism becomes less active, including the metabolism of calcium. In these conditions occur dumping massive calcium through urine or feces. To counterbalance this, there was a bone demineralization process is more active.

3. Patients with anorexia nervosa
Patients with anorexia nervosa (eating disorders) will conduct food consumption restrictions are not fair. They will be desperately trying to maintain weight and body shape, as well as strict control eating habits. Often they do excessive sports activities in an effort to achieve ideal body weight according to his imagination.
At first decline in body weight has done looks pretty realistic. However, after reaching the target, they set a lower ideal weight. Psychologically, they are very sensitive to criticism about weight. Diet is done as if a pattern of life. They actually have a normal hunger, but hunger is strictly controlled.
Fatty food barely touched, whereas the high energy content. Patients with anorexia are individuals who have a high awareness of nutritional aspects. Unfortunately distortion of knowledge of nutrition, so they are not able to practice the concepts of nutrition information it receives. That's why osteoporosis is easy to attack them.

4. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
During pregnancy, intestinal absorption of calcium in the mother will increase to meet the needs of calcium for the baby. When daily calcium intake low in women, forced to baby's needs will be met from reserves of calcium are calcium on bone his mother. The same thing can occur during breastfeeding. ASI is needed by infants to healthy living, and one important component in human milk is calcium. The average milk contains 300 mg of calcium per liter. Therefore, calcium intake should be increased during lactation. Consume the recommended amount during pregnancy and lactation respectively 1200 mg per day.
Teenagers who are growing (11-24 years) are encouraged to consume 1200 mg of calcium per day. Pregnancies that are too close distance will certainly accelerate the loss of bone calcium, especially for those who lack adequate daily intake. With pregnancy prescribed distance (eg 2-3 years), calcium status of mothers expected to be back to normal before the next pregnancy and lactation.

5. Eating Inappropriate
Eating should not be interpreted as a routine. From the health aspect, the wrong diet can be dangerous. A diet that is very supportive of osteoporosis is very low dietary calcium and vitamins A, D, and K. Adequacy of the vitamin should be met from natural sources, such as vegetables, dark green leafy vegetables.
High consumption of caffeine can lead to exile massive calcium in the urine. Avoid eating too much protein can also prevent osteoporosis. This is due to soluble proteins that the body, releasing the acid in the bloodstream. Acid will be neutralized by the body break down calcium from bone.
Dietary fiber is consumed to excess is also less good for the body. Dietary fiber will bind the majority of food compounds in the gut and also inhibit absorption. Compounds that most easily bind to dietary fiber are minerals, including calcium.

6. Corticosteroid Drug Users
Differences in medicines and poisons are very thin, which distinguishes only the doses used. Several types of medications can interfere with bone density. Patterns generated can be tangible interference in the absorption of calcium or disruption to the working mechanism of regulating hormones such as those found in the corticosteroid drug classes.
Corticosteroid drugs classified as special, many kinds of diseases can be cured. This medicine is used to treat asthma, Bronchial, food allergy, drug allergy, biduran, allergic rhinitis (nasal disorder), arthritis (joint disorders), and other diseases because of an allergic process. Unfortunately, when used in a long time would be bad for users.
Drug, the addition can cause peptic ulcers, can also disrupt blood sugar levels, deterioration of skin elasticity, cataracts, growth of additional hairs out of proportion, making it easier someone contracted the infection, swelling of the face and feet, hypertension, and fragility of bones (osteoporosis) .

7. Smoker
At least 25 types of diseases caused by smoking, including bladder cancer, lung cancer, a narrowing of blood vessels, which can cause heart disease and stroke, osteoporosis and disorders. Adverse effects on bone density is directly proportional to the usage and the number of cigarettes. Habit of smoking one cigarette a day in one month can lead to decreased bone mass at 0.004 percent.
Not yet known exactly how smoking can lead to osteoporosis. Presumably, the substances in cigarette sparked the hormone estrogen in women solving and testosterone in men excessively. As a result, the amount of hormones in the body decreases. By decreasing both types of hormone, bone maintenance will clearly be affected.

8. Excessive coffee drinkers
Many argue that the appeal of drinking coffee on the taste, sense of ritual, and the warmth it generated. However, actually the main attraction of coffee lies in the high caffeine content. As a refresher materials, caffeine can eliminate sleepiness, reaction is faster motion, increased alertness and concentration.
Unfortunately, these drinks also bring a bad impact on our health, will be an increase in cholesterol levels by 36 percent, decreased levels of vitamin B6 by 21 percent, and decreased bone density of 0.0023 percent. That would happen if someone drank three cups of coffee every day for two weeks.
Decrease in bone density is not clearly known, but scientists suspect the increase of calcium occurs through sewage disposal urine diuretic effects of caffeine.

9. Alcohol drinkers
By convincing a lot of alcohol can cause damage to organs. In the brain damage nerve cells so that the resulting interference function of thinking, feeling, and behavior. On the wall of the stomach occurred small wounds.
The threat that also shadowing is bone fragility. This condition can occur because of systematic failures in the maintenance of its mineral content of calcium which is an important element in bone density.
The presence of small wounds in the stomach will lead to chronic bleeding in the stomach. Despite the small form of the wound, because it lasts a long time, the amount of blood that comes out into lots.
We already know that the amount of calcium in the blood quite a lot. If a lot of blood from the body, will be much the amount of calcium that comes out of the body, thereby reducing or absorption of calcium from bone and indicates that the greater the bone more fragile by the loss of calcium.
