Osteoporosis of disuse - what does this mean
Osteoporosis of disuse is a type of osteoporosis that occurs when bones are not used or loaded regularly, leading to a decrease in bone density and strength. it is most commonly seen in people who are bedridden or who have limited mobility due to a physical disability. it is also seen in astronauts who spend long periods of time in zero gravity.
What happens during the disease - osteoporosis of disuse
Osteoporosis of disuse is a condition caused by a decrease in bone mineral density due to a lack of physical activity or immobilization. this decrease in activity leads to a decrease in the amount of bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) and an increase in the amount of bone-resorbing cells (osteoclasts). this imbalance in bone formation and resorption leads to a decrease in bone density, which increases the risk of fractures and other complications.
