Symptoms of osteoporosis

summary

Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease which is prone to fracture due to the decline of bone density and bone quality, destruction of bone microstructure, and increase of bone fragility. This disease mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, so what are the symptoms of osteoporosis? Let me share my personal experience with you.

Symptoms of osteoporosis

According to the basic symptoms of osteoporosis, the diagnosis of secondary osteoporosis and primary osteoporosis can be made at the same time. If the BMD is lower than that of healthy adults of the same sex and race, less than 1 standard deviation is considered as normal; if the BMD is lower than 1-2.5 standard deviation, it is considered as bone mass underground; if the BMD is lower than or equal to 2.5 standard deviation, it is considered as osteoporosis.

Symptom 2: the diagnosis of osteoporosis is generally based on the decrease of bone mass, bone mineral density and (or) brittle fracture. Brittle fracture can be diagnosed as osteoporosis. Bone mineral density examination record is important for the early diagnosis of the population, so it is recommended to go to the hospital to do a bone mineral density examination every year. The middle-aged and old people are prone to osteoporosis, so we should pay attention to osteoporosis from the young, so as not to get osteoporosis in the old age.

Symptom 3: common symptoms of osteoporosis: pain, length shortening, fracture, decreased respiratory function, spinal deformation, etc. Endocrine diseases, connective tissue diseases, chronic kidney diseases, gastrointestinal diseases and nutritional diseases can cause osteoporosis. Severe patients with fracture can be disabled, not only limited activities can not take care of themselves, but also bring a heavy economic burden to the individual family.
