Treаting Osteоpоrоsis Reаd the report аnd answer questions 4 and 5. Presently there is no cure for osteoporosis, and even preventive measures must start when people are young. The most important genetic influence on osteoporosis is the individual variability in our capacity to absorb calcium from our daily diet. Factors influencing bone mass development include genetics, nutrition and physical exercise. Everyone should have good calcium and vitamin D intake to grow and maintain healthy bone, but the key to strong bones is staying physically active. Weight-bearing exercise such as walking or jogging causes stress on the bones and thus induces bone growth. Recent studies have shown that taking large amounts of calcium and/or vitamin D, once the signs of osteoporosis are noted, will not stimulate bone growth. Calcium supplementation beyond 1200 mg per day is now felt to increase the risk of adverse cardiovascular consequences. Medications known as bisphosphonates are known to slow the progress of the disease, but they are not curative. These drugs act by slowing osteoclasts, but to date there is nothing that stimulates the osteoblasts to produce additional new bone. A bone density study can help assess the state of the skeleton. The study consists of a non-invasive X-Ray procedure with measurements made over the lower spine, hip, and forearm. In the case of Mrs. JG, a bone density study showed she has moderately advanced osteoporosis. To slow the deterioration, she plans to increase her daily activity level and increase her calcium and vitamin D intake to the recommended daily amount, and she has elected to begin using a bisphosphonate. 4) The genetic influence on the development of osteoporosis is related to _____.
