Abstract: Osteoporosis is a serious health problem worldwide and most commonly affects postmenopausal women (World Health Organization, 1994). Of the variety of complications associated with osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, osteoporotic fracture is the most prevalent and serious one. It affects their quality of life and puts heavy burden on the healthcare system in Hong Kong. Since osteoporosis exercise program can help to reduce bone loss, it seems to be an effective strategy to prevent and manage osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. The purpose of this study is to develop an evidence-based osteoporosis exercise education program for postmenopausal women, based on the best available evidence, with an aim of helping them to prevent and manage osteoporosis through the prevention and reduction of bone loss and its related fractures. A search of literature from four databases, including Pubmed (1997 to August 2011), CINAHL Plus (1937 to August 2011), Cochrane Library (1996 to Issue 8 of 2011) and EMBASE Classic + EMBASE (1947 to August 2011), was done to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The methodology checklist for RCTs developed by the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN, 2008) was used to evaluate the quality of the selected studies. A total of nine studies met the inclusion criteria and did not violate the exclusion criteria. The findings of these studies showed that exercise intervention or program significantly reduced postmenopausal women's likelihood of having fracture and also improved their bone mass density slightly. Among the reviewed studies, programs were most commonly implemented within a 12-month period and two 60-minute supervised exercise sessions were delivered per week. The potential of implementing the proposed program, based on the evidence from the literature review, to local practice was assessed. Based on the assessment, the proposed program is necessary and beneficial for postmenopausal women. An evidence-based osteoporosis exercise education program is developed based on the best available evidence. The SIGN grading system was utilized to provide grades for the recommendations in the guideline. An effective and adequate communication with potential stakeholders to gain their support and cooperation for the proposed program is essential. In addition, a tailor-made pilot test is also crucial for ensuring the successful implementation of the proposed program. The pilot study will be conducted in a local practice and the targeted participants are 124 postmenopausal women. Data analysis will be done by the paired t-test. The proposed evidence-based osteoporosis exercise education program will be considered as effective if (1) there is a reduction of bone loss and an increase in physical activity level in postmenopausal women, and (2) there is an increase of confidence and self-perceived skill on the prevention of management of osteoporosis in nurses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first-ever Surgeon General's Report on bone health and osteoporosis illustrates the large burden that bone disease places on our Nation and its citizens. Like other chronic diseases that disproportionately affect the elderly, the prevalence of bone disease and fractures is projected to increase markedly as the population ages. If these predictions come true, bone disease and fractures will have a tremendous negative impact on the future well-being of Americans. But as this report makes clear, they need not come true: by working together we can change the picture of aging in America. Osteoporosis, fractures, and other chronic diseases no longer should be thought of as an inevitable part of growing old. By focusing on prevention and lifestyle changes, including physical activity and nutrition, as well as early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, Americans can avoid much of the damaging impact of bone disease and other chronic diseases. This Surgeon General's Report brings together for the first time the scientific evidence related to the prevention, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of bone disease. More importantly, it provides a framework for moving forward. The report will be another effective tool in educating Americans about how they can promote bone health throughout their lives. This first-ever Surgeon General's Report on bone health and osteoporosis provides much needed information on bone health, an often overlooked aspect of physical health. This report follows in the tradition of previous Surgeon Generals' reports by identifying the relevant scientific data, rigorously evaluating and summarizing the evidence, and determining conclusions.

Download or read book Glucocorticoid induced Osteoporosis written by Andrea Giustina and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2002 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Osteoporosis is one of the most clinically relevant disabling chronic disease encountered in clinical practice. A common cause of osteoporosis is glucocorticoid excess, as glucocorticoids may increase bone resorption, inhibit bone formation, have indirect actions on bone by decreasing intestinal calcium absorption and induce hypercalciuria. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the effects of glucocorticoids on bone metabolism and structure and on the diagnosis and treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. It aims at providing updated information on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of this often dramatic complication of glucocorticoid excess. Being one of the few publications completely devoted to glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis it will heighten the awareness of specialists who prescribe glucocorticoids of the clinical relevance of this treatment complication. 'Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis' is addressed to clinical experts as well as to general practitioners who will both benefit from the comprehensive and integrative view of the management of patients exposed to glucocorticoids.

Download or read book In Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis and Back Pain Does Strength Training Improve Health Related Quality of Life written by Brigid Crystal and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Background: Osteoporosis is a bone disease that causes decreased bone mass and bone density, increasing the risk of fracture and decreasing health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Strength training and other exercise interventions are often prescribed to treat low bone mineral density. The purpose of this review is to determine if strength and resistance training can decrease pain levels or increase HRQoL. Methods: A comprehensive search was performed in the following databases using a pre-selected string: PubMed, CINAHL, Trip, Pedro, EBSCO, and MEDLINE. The inclusion criteria consisted of: articles that used strength or resistive training methods as an intervention on postmenopausal women with either osteoporosis or osteopenia, and applied an outcome measure incorporating HRQoL and/or pain. Articles were excluded if participants presented with interfering health conditions, the exercise intervention did not include a strength training aspect, patients were being treated pharmacologically, with exceptions of calcium and vitamin D supplements, and if the articles were not written in English. Results: Six articles were included in this systematic review. Analysis of this literature indicates that strength training improves HRQoL and decreases pain in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Discussion/Conclusion: Little peer-reviewed evidence exists for strength training interventions in women with osteoporosis. All evidence supported interventions of at least 10 weeks in length, with the longest intervention spanning 2 years. Strength training alone was found to significantly decrease pain in 2 studies. Interventions combining strength training and other forms of exercise were found to increase HRQoL significantly more than strength training alone in women with osteopenia and osteoporosis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book responds to the daily needs of all clinicians treating patients with osteoporosis and provides a key reference guide for any challenges that arise in clinical practice. This book also covers the genetics of the disease, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and current and upcoming treatment recommendations in accordance with the latest international guidelines. Osteoporosis is a disease in which the density and quality of bone are greatly reduced, and as bones become more porous and fragile the risk of fracture increases greatly. It is one of the most common metabolic bone diseases globally with one in three women and one in five men at risk of an osteoporotic fracture, and can result in devastating physical, psychosocial, and economic consequences. However, in spite of this osteoporosis can often be overlooked and undertreated, thus there is a real need to raise awareness of this disease.
