Osteoporosis is a condition in which a person’s bones become brittle. Konstantin Ternovoy, director of the traumatologist-orthopedist Center for Medical Rehabilitation, head of the department of medical rehabilitation at Sechenov University, said that the first bell that indicates the onset of Osteoporosis is usually a fracture.
“There are three places where fractures can be recognized even without any additional research into the development of osteoporosis. This is a fracture of the radius on the arm, a fracture of the vertebrae and a fracture of the femoral neck, ”explained Ternovoy.
According to experts, 25% of the population die from osteoporosis. It also affects women more often than men. However, the wrong lifestyle can destroy the “natural protection” of the stronger sex.
“Men with osteoporosis get fractures in the same places. Let’s say they happen after 10-15 years. But men can destroy their natural protection by smoking, vitamin D deficiency, taking diuretics. Prolonged use of diuretics in both men and women contributes to the leaching of bone tissue, ”said the rehabilitation specialist.
