hat carries a severe blow to the ayatollahs of the line! The most important risk factors for osteoporosis would be… a low body weight.Women called "small weight", are indeed much more vulnerable than others. Of course, other risk factors are known as heredity, being 45 years before menopause, a history of fracture or prolonged treatment with cortisone.
But apart from age, weight is the dominant factor.
Based on these data, each can measure their risk of osteoporosis. Just subtract, weight measured in kilograms, age measured in years, the figure thus obtained is multiplied by 0.2 and then rounded to the nearest whole number.
You weigh 60 kg to 54 years ? The calculation will therefore (60-54) = 6, multiplied by 0.2 equals 1.2, rounded to 1. At this level the risk of osteoporosis is low.
With a weight of 45 kg the result would have been between 1 and least 3, and moderate risk. But at 40 kg calculation would have given -3. At this stage and beyond, there is a high risk of osteoporosis.
This calculation should be weighted. Because as any calculation of risk is based on a statistical indication and not on an individual diagnosis!
Only a simple X-ray, measuring bone mineral density (BMD) or osteodensitometrie will say so. A review, storm Prof. Pierre Meunier Lyon, "is unfortunately not always reimbursed in France.
We are one of the few developed countries where the examination is easy to do is not repaid! "An aberration when you know that you can treat osteoporosis effectively with drugs that increase the density of bones weakened by osteoporosis ... provided that they have properly diagnosed the disease!
