Defining Osteoporosis
 “Progressive systemic skeletal disease
characterized by low bone mass and
microarchitectural deterioration of bone
tissue, leading to enhanced bone fragility
and a consequent increase in fracture risk”
 True Definition: bone with lower density

and higher fracture risk
 WHO: utilizes Bone Mineral Density as

definition (T score <-2.5); surrogate marker
Who Gets Osteoporosis?
 Age
 Estrogen deficiency
 Testosterone deficiency
 Family history/genetics
 Female sex
 Low calcium/vitamin D intake
 Poor exercise
 Smoking
 Alcohol
Who gets osteoporosis?
 Low body weight/anorexia
 Hyperthyroidism
 Hyperparathyroidism
 Prednisone use
 Liver and renal disease (think about vit d
synthesis)
 Low sun exposure
 Medications (antiepileptics, heparin)
 Malignancies (metastatic disease; multiple
myeloma can present as osteopenia!)
 Hemiplegia s/p CVA/ immobility
 Back pain, which can be severe if fractured or collapsed
vertebra
 Loss of height over time, with an accompanying stooped
posture
 Fracture of the vertebrae, wrists, hips or other bones
Nutritional and Etiology
gastrointestinal disorders
•malnutrition,
•parenteral nutrition,
•malabsorption syndromes,
•gastrectomy,
• severe liver disease
(especially biliary cirrhosis),
•pernicious anemia.
Endocrine disorders
•Cushing's syndrome,
•hyperparathyroidism Hypogonadal states Hematologic
• thyrotoxicosis, •Turner syndrome, disorders/malignancy
•insulin-dependent •Klinefelter syndrome, •multiple myeloma,
diabetes mellitus, •Kallmann Syndrome, •lymphoma and
•acromegaly, •anorexia nervosa, leukemia,
•adrenal insufficiency •hypothalamic •mastocytosis,
amenorrhea, •hemophilia,
•hyperprolactinemia. •thalassemia.
Drugs associated with increased risk of
osteoporosis
 - Glucocorticoids
 - Cycosporine
 - Cytotoxic drugs
 - Anticonvulsants
 - Excessive alcohol
 - Excessive thyroxine
 - Heparin
 - Lithium

Osteoporosis
 PATHOGENESIS
 1. Peak bone mass : about 20 years old
- genetic, hormone, nutrition, life style
 2. Rate of bone loss : after age 30-45, bone resorption
(osteoclast)> formation (osteoblast) and become
exaggerated after menopause
(50 years old)
 3. Bone remodeling : keep balance at 20-30 years old,
after that become negative balance

Mechanism
Osteoporosis
 Type 1 Type 2 Type 3
Postmenopausal Senile secondary
 Age 55 -70 years 70-90 years all

 Sex(F/M) 6:1 2 :1 1:1
 Fx site vertebrae vertebrae vertebrae
distal forearm hip hip
distal forearm
 The threshold for Fx is reduced for osteoporotic

bone

Risk factor for osteoporosis fracture
 Potentially modifiable
1. Cigarette smoking
2. Low body weight ( < 58 kg.)
3. Estrogen deficiency : early menopause
(<45 years)
4. Low calcium intake, high salt and protein diet
5. Alcoholism
6. Inadequate physical activity
7. Poor health

Lab Investigations
CBC
ESR
Serum calcium (8.6 – 10.4 mg/dl)
Serum phosphorus (3.00 – 4.5 mg/dl) Children 4-6 mg/dl
Serum alkaline phosphatase (44 – 147 Iu/lit.) Children 1.5 -
2.5 times more
Liver function tests
Renal function tests
T3,T4, TSH
Para thyroid hormones
Vitamin D 25 (25 – 80 ng/ml)
Protein electrophoresis (M band)
Anti endomysial antibody (Coeliac disease)
Osteoporosis Treatment: Calcium and
Vitamin D
 Fewer than half adults take recommended
amounts
 Higher risk: malabsorption, renal disease, liver
disease
 Calcium and vit D supplementation shown to
decrease risk of hip fracture in older adults
 1000 mg/day standard; 1500 mg/day in
postmenopausal women/osteoporosis
 Vitamin D (25 and 1,25): 400 IU day at least;
 Frail older patients with limited sun exposure may need
up to 800 IU/day
Osteoporosis Treatment: Calcitonin
 Likely not as effective as
bisphosphonates
 200 IU nasally/day (alternating nares)
 Decrease pain with acute vertebral
compression fracture
Osteoporosis Treatment: Bisphosphonates
 Decrease bone resorption
 Multiple studies demonstrate decrease in hip and
vertebral fractures
 Alendronate, risodronate
 IV: pamidronate, zolendronate (usually used for
hypercalcemia of malignancy, malignancy related
fractures, and multiple myeloma related
osteopenia)
 Ibandronate (boniva): once/month
 Those at highest risk of fracture (pre-existing
vertebral fractures) had greatest benefit with
treatment
RECOMMENDED DAILY INTAKE OF VITAMIN D
Five Steps Toward Prevention
98% of a woman’s skeletal mass is acquired by age 20
Optimal strategies for building strong bones occurs during childhood and
adolescence
1. A balanced diet rich in calcium and
vitamin D
2. Weight-bearing and resistance-
training exercises
3. A healthy lifestyle with no smoking
or excessive alcohol intake
4. Talking to one’s healthcare
professional about bone health
5. Bone density testing and
medication when appropriate
A study of disease management in
a rural healthcare population
demonstrated that a preventive
program was able to reduce hip
fractures and save money.
