Bone Diseases
Bone disease is often not recognized by someone. Usually people have realized after bone condition no longer possible to be treated.
So to reduce the potential for someone to experience a variety of complaints on the bones, it takes a complete and adequate information from health workers.
Bone Health will support the activities of the people and improve performance.
A. Bone
Before learning more about the various bone diseases, it helps us to be aware of human bone structure.
Bone is a buffer body and consists of collagen, a protein that besisi Kalsum and ka phosphate mineral that gives strength to support the entire organ.
The combination of collagen and calcium makes bones strong and flexible enough to withstand the pressure due to human activities. More than 99 percent of the body's calcium is in the bones and teeth. And one percent is found in the blood.
There are two types of bone that
1. Cortical
Solid and strong. Is the outermost part of the bone.
2. Trabecular
The inside of the bones, hollow, and forming the overall structure
Throughout human life, the bone continues to experience growth and repair. The process is carried out bone resorption and formation.
During resorption, old bone cells will be damaged and replaced by specialized cells called osteoclasts.
In the process of bone formation, new bone tissue will replace the old bone cells. Cells that perform this process are osteoblasts.
Osteoclasts and osteoblasts during bone repair process requires a variety of hormones and vitamins, namely:
* Calcitonin
* Parathyroid
* Vitamin C
* Hormones estrogen (in women)
* Hormone testosterone (in men)
B. Here are some of the bone disease that is often experienced:
Osteoporosis
That is a disease that causes decreased bone density. Osteoporosis undermined the strength of the trabecular bone so that its strength is reduced drastically, also bone cortical thinning and overall bone will break easily. The disease is stalking people who already advanced and women entering menopause.
Osteomalacia
This disease results in bones becoming weak due to shortages
vitamin D or errors of metabolism in the body. As with osteoporosis, osteomalacia also has the potential to make rapid bone fractures.
Rickets
Rickets is often experienced by children who are growing. Bone formation in patients with abnormal rickets, which is a buildup of calcium in the bones due to eating too much calcium milk or as a result of solar radiation.
Osteomyelitis
This infection attacks the bone and caused by bacterimia, or sepsis, that spreads and reduced bone strength.
C. Bone Disease Prevention and Treatment
1. Exercising regularly will reduce the risk of bone disease. With a lot of moving, bone composition will be solid and unavoidable loss or fracture.
2. Food intake should be a nutritious and high in fiber. Usahan to consume high calcium milk
3. If you feel no complaints about the bones or joints, immediately consult a doctor.
4. Perform a balanced diet by eating foods rich in calcium and vitamin D
5. It is recommended not to smoke and consume alcoholic beverages
6. Perform routine testing of bone strength
