Document Summary
Clicker question: a fragility fracture is a fracture that may occur as a result of the following: Clicker question: osteoporosis can result in which of the following: Risk of refractor: 1 in 3 within 1 year. Mortality: 28% of women with hip fracture ie within 1 year. Aging we have an aging population. A skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength predisposing a person to an increased risk fracture: bone quantity. Humans, animal models: developmental changes, response to interventions. Gene and protein markers of bone health. Amount of bone mineral is a given area. Bone structure predicts bone strength: trabecular separation, trabecular number. Amount of force a bone withstands before fracture. Peak bone mass: genetics, physical activity, nutrition. Most amount of bone you"ll have at one time. Attenuate bone loss of aging and loss of estrogen: physical activity, aging. Menopause and aging: decline in sex steroids, increased fracture risk. Bone: increased osteoblasts and activity, decreased osteoclasts and activity.
