Excessive smoking, alcohol and coffee lead to early onset of osteoporosis

Twenty years ago, fractures caused by osteoporosis accounted for less than 1/3 of orthopedic outpatients. 20 years later, this proportion has risen to more than half. Last weekend, the national basic and clinical progress of osteoporotic fracture and the first orthopaedic conference in Suzhou in 2011 were held. Experts at the meeting introduced that osteoporosis is a highly harmful disease. It is worth noting that osteoporosis tends to be younger in recent years.

Osteoporosis refers to the loss of bone mass and the decrease of bone density in the human body. To put it more vividly, it means that "the inside of the bone becomes empty". If you are subjected to a little external force, you may fracture.

According to a survey, young people are suffering from osteoporosis. Li Xuesong, director of the Osteoporosis Special Fund Management Committee of the China Health Promotion Foundation, said that people's bone mass reaches its peak at the age of 30. The peak value determines the development time of osteoporosis sooner or later. Many young people lose weight blindly, go on a diet, and even don't eat or drink protein or milk, which can easily lead to bone mass loss ahead of time. In addition, modern people are under more and more pressure at work, and young white-collar workers often sit for a long time and do less exercise and bask in the sun. In the diet love cola, coffee, tobacco and alcohol, and even cola, coffee instead of daily drinking water, not only easy to calcium excretion, but also easy to lead to bone loss.

Osteoporosis is terrible but difficult to detect, and by the time it is discovered, fractures have often occurred. Li Xuesong warned that the prevention of osteoporosis should be done from now on, walk a little more every day, and get a little more sun. Many people will also take dietary supplements or drug supplements. In this regard, Zou Tianming, director of the orthopedic department of the municipal hospital, said that calcium supplements only need ordinary calcium tablets, and not the most expensive ones are the best. Many people's favorite bone soup, bone marrow calcium supplement is actually a misunderstanding. Because the calcium here can not be absorbed by the human body, calcium can be easily absorbed by the human body only after it is combined with vitamin D. He suggested that in the usual diet, pay attention to supplement foods high in calcium, such as fish, shrimp, shrimp skin, kelp, milk, dairy products, bean products, miscellaneous grains, vegetables and so on. There are people in middle age, bone loss accelerated, then appropriate supplement of calcium tablets, sports are more suitable for jogging, golf, swimming and so on.

It is understood that a number of hospitals in the city have set up osteoporosis-related departments, which can provide citizens with professional bone mineral density detection, osteoporosis diagnosis and treatment. (Zhang Jie)
