Osteoporosis, unspecified - what does this mean

Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bones become brittle and weak due to a decrease in bone mass and density, resulting in an increased risk of fractures. it is caused by a variety of factors, including age, genetics, lifestyle, and hormonal changes. it is a progressive condition, and without treatment, it can worsen over time.

What happens during the disease - osteoporosis, unspecified

Единый механизм развития остеопороза отсутствует, поскольку динамика изменения строения и состава костной ткани определяется провоцирующим заболеванием (при вторичном остеопорозе) и наличием различных факторов риска (при первичном процессе). При этом выделяют ряд последовательных стадий, которые наблюдаются при всех видах патологии.

 

Формирование костной ткани нарушается во время роста либо в процессе обновления. Разрушение кости начинает преобладать над ее восстановлением. Плотность, масса кости снижаются. Уменьшается толщина кортикального слоя, количество трабекул. В результате при остеопорозе страдают прочностные характеристики кости, у детей возникают деформации, у взрослых – переломы.

 

Риск возникновения переломов увеличивается пропорционально снижению плотности костной ткани. При снижении плотности костей на 10% частота переломов возрастает в 2-3 раза. Остеопороз в первую очередь поражает кости с преобладанием губчатого вещества (позвонки, кости предплечья в области лучезапястного сустава), поэтому типичными осложнениями заболевания являются переломы тел позвонков, дистального эпифиза лучевой кости.
