Summary Osteopenia & Osteoporosis represent a continuum of conditions that present with a decrease in bone mass and disrupted bone microarchitecture most commonly as a result of increased age, menopause, and metabolic abnormalities. Diagnosis is made with a lumbar-based DEXA scan with osteopenia having a T-score of 1 to 2.5 standard deviations below the peak bone mass of a 25-year-old individual, and osteoporosis having a T-score >2.5 standard of deviations below the peak bone mass of a 25-year-old individual. Treatment involves a multidisciplinary approach with medical management and physical activity to increase bone mineral density and to help prevent fractures. Epidemiology Incidence 10 million Americans and 200 million people worldwide have osteoporosis 34 million Americans have osteopenia 1.5 million osteoporotic fractures occur each year 700,000 are vertebral fractures 300,000 are hip fractures 200,000 are wrist fractures Demographics male: female ratio is 1:4 men have a higher prevalence of secondary osteoporosis (60%) including hypogonadism glucocorticoid excess alcoholism age bracket osteoporosis postmenopausal osteoporosis is highest in women aged 50-70 years senile osteoporosis begins after 70 years secondary osteoporosis begins at any age fractures wrist fractures occur most commonly at age 50-60 years vertebral fractures occur most commonly at age 60-70 years hip fractures occur most commonly at age 70-80 years Anatomic location vertebral body > peritrochanter femur > distal radius Risk factors table of risk factors Etiology Pathophysiology quantitative, not qualitative, disorder of bone mineralization factors failure to build peak bone mass as a young adult bone loss in later life Genetics Polymorphisms in the genes for the calcitonin receptor, estrogen receptor-1, type I collagen alpha-1 chain, or the vitamin D receptor have been shown to be associated with osteoporosis Associated conditions fragility fractures direct relationship between degree of bone loss and fractures kyphotic deformity can arise from vertebral body fractures pelvic ring insufficiency fractures most often treated with bed rest and analgesia total hip arthroplasty with constrained components are a risk factor for fragility fractures Associated with 20% increase in mortality men have higher mortality rates following hip fractures than women Associated with increased morbidity reduced quality of life only one-third of patients with hip fractures return to their previous level of function History of 1 hip fracture results in up to 10 fold increased risk of 2nd hip fracture Classification Type I vs. Type II Osteoporosis Type I (Post menopausal) Type II (Senile) Age group Postmenopausal (highest incidence in 50-70 years old) >70 years old Bone affected Almost exclusively trabecular Trabecular > cortical Bones fractured Distal radius and vertebral Hip and pelvis Effect on calcium Net negative change in calcium levels because of decreased intestinal absorption and increased urinary excretion of calcium.
