osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a disease of bone leading to an increased risk of fracture. In osteoporosis the bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced, bone microarchitecture is disrupted, and the amount and variety of non-collagenous proteins in bone is altered. Osteoporosis is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) in women as a bone mineral density 2.5 standard deviations below peak bone mass (20-year-old sex-matched healthy person average) as measured by DXA; the term "established osteoporosis" includes the presence of a fragility fracture. Osteoporosis is most common in women after the menopause, when it is called postmenopausal osteoporosis, but may develop in men and premenopausal women in the presence of particular hormonal disorders and other chronic diseases or as a result of smoking and medications, specifically glucocorticoids, when the disease is called steroid- or glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (SIOP or GIOP). Osteoporosis can be prevented with lifestyle advice and medication, and preventing falls in people with known or suspected osteoporosis is an established way to prevent fractures. Osteoporosis can be treated with bisphosphonates and various other medical treatments.

Die Osteoporose (v. griech.  „Knochen“ und πῶρος „hart“) ist eine häufige Alters-Erkrankung des Knochens, die ihn für Brüche (Frakturen) anfälliger macht. Die auch als Knochenschwund bezeichnete Krankheit ist gekennzeichnet durch eine geringe Knochenmasse und den übermäßig raschen Abbau der Knochensubstanz und -struktur. Die erhöhte Frakturanfälligkeit kann das ganze Skelett betreffen.

Osteoporoza (łac.osteoporosis, dawna nazwa zrzeszotnienie kości) - stan chorobowy charakteryzujący się postępującym ubytkiem masy kostnej, osłabieniem struktury przestrzennej kości oraz zwiększoną podatnością na złamania. Osteoporoza występuje najczęściej u kobiet po menopauzie (osteoporoza pomenopauzalna). Stanem zmniejszonej, w odniesieniu do norm dla płci i wieku, ale jeszcze nie osiągającej wartości patologicznych, gęstości kości jest osteopenia.

L'osteoporosi definisce la situazione in cui lo scheletro è soggetto ad un maggiore rischio di fratture, in seguito alla diminuzione di massa ossea e di microarchitettura.L'osteoporosi è un processo parafisiologico, cioè fisiologico nella sua natura, ma che permette un maggior sviluppo di patologie. Per tal motivo, poichè viene considerata troppo facilmente malattia, il British Medical Journal l'ha inclusa in un elenco di non-malattie, l'International Classification of Non-Disease..
