While it doesn't usually kill people outright, it is a contributing cause of malnutri tion, pneumonia, and loss of indepen dence due to broken bones and abil ity to move about. It sends people to nursing homes or necessitates expen sive home care. In 1995, total costs were estimated at $13.8 billion for nearly 25 billion for nearly 25 mil lion people with osteoporosis. An elderly woman's risk of frac turing a hip is greater than her com bined risk of getting breast, uterine or ovarian cancer. One of every two women and one of every eight men will develop osteoporosis during their lifetimes. Osteoporosis, like hypertension, is a "silent" disease. Calcium can dribble out of a person's bones for years without him or her being aware anything is wrong. Loss of spinal bone can be painful. The infamous "dowager's hump" and shorter stat ure are signs, but often a broken hip, wrist or spine first makes a person aware of what is happening. Bones are living, changing tis sue. Throughout life, bone is being removed and rebuilt. During adoles cent and early adult years, more bone is lost than replaced. All women 50 years and older should have a bone scan to determine risk for osteoporo sis. -Kansas State University Exten sion http:www.oznet.ksu.edu What does it mean?
