Every October 20 and since 1996, Osteoporosis Day<\/strong> has been celebrated worldwide.
\nThis is a joint effort between 265 medical societies and members around the world who call for participation in the annual campaign to raise awareness about osteoporosis and fracture prevention<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

This is of fundamental importance because according to a European study by the International Osteoporosis Foundation, it has been revealed that approximately 71% of European postmenopausal women are considered at high risk of fracture and do not receive treatment.<\/p>\n

Osteoporosis<\/h1>\n

Osteoporosis is a disease that is characterized by low bone density and an increased risk of fractures<\/strong>.
\nIt affects 3 million people in Spain, most of them women.
\nIn addition, the probability of suffering a fragility fracture is close to 10% in women with a previous fracture at the age of 65 and increases considerably with age from the age of 70.

There are many factors that can increase the risk of suffering from it, such as age, menopause, low calcium intake or a sedentary lifestyle.
\nIt is important to strengthen the skeleton with supplements such as collagen or collagen stimulators, as they help maintain bone density and improve osteoarticular health. <\/p>\n

Osteoporosis does not follow pre-established clinical patterns<\/strong> and manifests itself in various ways throughout its course.
\nPeople with uncomplicated osteoporosis may remain asymptomatic until a fracture occurs.
\nIt has been seen that, although osteoporosis presents a general symptomatology, it also manifests itself with specific signs and symptoms such as: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pain secondary to osteoporotic fractures, which can occur in any bone and whose clinical manifestations depend on the location.<\/li>\n
  2. Deformities and multiple vertebral compression fractures that can result in increased thoracic kyphosis and cervical lordosis<\/strong>.
    \nThe last ribs could contact the iliac crest, causing relaxation of the diaphragm, which is the cause of digestive (hiatal hernia, meteorism) and respiratory (dyspnea) manifestations. <\/li>\n
  3. In addition, there are alterations of the adipose panniculus and the presence of skin folds on the back, pubic region and navel.<\/li>\n
  4. Hyperkyphosis also causes neck pain when the patient tries to hold the head up through cervical hyperextension.
    \nIn addition to this, increased dorsal kyphosis also occurs in men with osteoporosis, resulting in shoulder drop, compensatory cervical and lumbar hyperlordosis, which is a characteristic postural habit. <\/li>\n
  5. A loss of height, as vertebral fractures and hyperkyphosis can cause a decrease in height of approximately 10-20 cm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Many factors are involved in the development of osteoporosis.
    \nSome of them are modifiable, such as environmental factors and some endocrine factors. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
