 What is it? A medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue, typically as a result of hormonal changes, or deficiency of calcium or vitamin D  Why did I choose it? Because I originally did not know that endocrinologists diagnose and treat osteoporosis so I thought it was interesting how a career relating to the endocrine system can also deal with bones

 What is osteoporosis? What the disease really is and prognosis  The medications & treatments used for each There are many different ways to treat this disease and I want to highlight the major ones  The effects for each one and which is the one patients mostly use To educate my audience to know what they re going into if they ever encounter this disease  What recent research has come up with

 Some people think of bones as hard and lifeless, but they are actually living, growing tissue. Your bones are made up of three components that make them flexible and strong: Collagen: A protein that gives bones a flexible framework Calcium-phosphate mineral complexes: Make bones hard and strong Living bone cells: Remove and replace weakened sections of bone "Live with Osteoporosis."

 Children and teenagers form bone faster than they lose bone.  Children's’ bones continue getting denser until they peak bone mass, the point when you have the greatest amount of bone you will ever have.  Peak bone mass usually happens around the ages of 18 and 25.  The more bone you have at the time of peak bone mass, the less likely you are to break a bone or get osteoporosis later in life.  After you reach peak bone mass, the balance between bone formation and bone loss might start to change. You may start to slowly lose more bone than you form.  Between the ages of 40-60, bone loss usually speeds up in both men and women. For most women, bone loss increases after menopause, when estrogen levels drop sharply. Increasing the chance of getting osteoporosis. "Live with Osteoporosis." National Osteoporosis Foundation.

 Osteoporosis is the most common type of bone disease.  Osteoporosis increases the risk for breaking a bone. About half of all women over the age of 50 will have a fracture of the hip, wrist, or vertebra during their lifetime.  A medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue  Usually a result of hormonal changes, or deficiency of calcium or vitamin D  A genetic disorder, if your parents have it, you might too.  Medicines to treat osteoporosis can help prevent future fractures. But spine bones that have already collapsed cannot be reversed.  Osteoporosis can cause a person to become disabled from weakened bones "Live with Osteoporosis." National Osteoporosis Foundation.
