Abstract
Osteoporosis is a disease related to bone metabolism disorder. It is characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of the micro architecture, whose consequence is greater bone fragility and an increased risk of fractures. The purpose of this review is to summarize literature review regarding dietary calcium and vitamin d intake and exercise interventions for the treatment of osteoporosis in isolation. Recommendations as adequate amounts of total calcium, vitamin D and protein intake, regular exercise to improve strength and balance to reduce the risk of falls and consequent fractures, are known to be effective strategies for the prevention of osteoporosis, but also an important complement in the treatment.
期刊介绍:
For many diseases, women’s physiology and life-cycle hormonal changes demand important consideration when determining healthcare management options. Age- and gender-related factors can directly affect treatment outcomes, and differences between the clinical management of, say, an adolescent female and that in a pre- or postmenopausal patient may be either subtle or profound. At the same time, there are certain conditions that are far more prevalent in women than men, and these may require special attention. Furthermore, in an increasingly aged population in which women demonstrate a greater life-expectancy.
