Osteoporosis is a "serious, chronic, chronic disease with health and social impact" that affects both men and women who suffer "after the population. 70% of patients with this condition suffer from your first bone fracture before admission, why doctors and counselors in the main experience of primary care" of ridicule.

This was revealed during the dialogue titled "Osteoporosis can cause fractures: prevention, diagnosis and treatment", which took place at the news agency with the support of Grünenthal, on the occasion of World Osteoporosis Day, which is celebrated today, October 20.

Dr.Christina Carbonall, Family Doctor and President - elected of the Spanish Association for Bone and Mineral Metabolism Research (Seimm), explains Ospeopolis "which defines odooporosis" she explains that, in fact, when you suffer from osteoporosis, "the bones remain heavier,

Regarding the consequences of the disease.He added -

Según indicó el responsable de Responsabilidad Social Corporativa de la Fundación Internacional de Artrosis (OAFI), José Luis Baquero, en un 70% de los casos los pacientes con esta dolencia sufren una rotura ósea antes de ser diagnosticados de la enfermedad. Esto se debe a que la osteoporosis “es una enfermedad silente, porque no da síntomas hasta que el paciente se fractura y descubre de repente su estado”. Por eso, insistió en que "la prevención y el diagnóstico precoz son fundamentales" y añadió que aunque las cifras oficiales hablan de unos "tres millones de personas diagnosticadas" en España, "la cifra real es mucho mayor".

In this sense, the subject of the Uligistian hospital, the coordinator of the Bertrupu hospital (Madrid), remembers that memory loss is the fourth major disease in Spain.

For his part, Dr.Carbonell also defended the central role of primary care medicine in the diagnosis of disease.

BROKEN BEARS "SEN KNOW IT"

Rheumatologist Pilar Aguado confirmed that the fracture is "the most important clinical event" in this disease, because "it causes not only pain, but also disability and dependence."He also warned: "You must also know that someone has a fracture, unless it is a blow, or an open accident, it can be caused by a daily gesture, or a cough, or a simple effort.

The president of the seal of transportation of the osteoporosis (and Tencos), Raquiel Sort, the frame is given, "He is completely devoted. And he went into her other faces, and made an end on the other;"

Sánchez calls for "more psychological support" for patients, because "the fear of falling or breaking a fracture again limits life, produces anxiety and takes away your autonomy."

Prevention and Healthy Habits

Dr. Aguado also emphasized that "bone is constantly remodeling," and this allows action to be taken "to strengthen it." He emphasized that this feature "opens the door to prevention, as bone responds to exercise, diet, vitamin D, and specific therapies when appropriate."

Experts agree that prevention should begin long before a fracture, and even before bone maturity."We have to educate ourselves from childhood and youth, because the maximum peak of bone mass is reached around the age of 35. From then on, we can only preserve what we have acquired," emphasized Dr. Carbonell from Barcelona.A fact confirmed by José Luis Baquero of the International Osteoarthritis Foundation (OAFI), who emphasizes the need for women to train "with a little impact".

The professor at the bone metabolic unit in La Paz states “exercise for the body, especially that which affects or affects the bones”.“And calcium and vitamin D are important, but it’s also important to avoid smoking and alcohol, which are bones,” he added.

Regarding treatment, Pilar Aguado stressed that "we must emphasize adherence, because many patients abandon medications in the first months."He reminded that "the treatments are safe and effective, but they require time and persistence to produce results."

The impact of osteoporosis is not limited to the physical world."In a collision or a break in the network, it can mean the loss of independence, the clinic of pure history is stopped, and Carbonell is needed for a long time," explained Carbonell.

According to data provided during the dialogue, 40% of patients with hip fractures are no longer able to walk and one in five die in the year after the fracture.Apart from personal suffering, Baquero warned that the financial burden on the health system is too high.

Faced with the statistics, experts wanted to deliver a positive message: osteoporosis is preventable, detectable and treatable."It is a disease that can be controlled if it is detected in time and the correct treatment is followed," said rheumatologist Aguado Dr. Carbonell, concluding that "we must talk more about osteoporosis, make it visible and raise awareness that it is not an inevitable consequence of aging, but a disease that can be prevented."
