Your hospital and the Endocrine division Peng Spring chief physician told reporters that in fact, Miss Zhang such a situation is not uncommon, the clinical also met a number of more than 20-year-old women with osteoporosis, now a number of 30-year-old women, bone density is lowered to the normal level below, and such a situation does not improve in time, it will deteriorate.
There are more and more young people under the age of 40 who are now attending clinics because of bone disease, 70% of whom are women, indicating that osteoporosis has been tilted towards young women.
"Human bone density is only going to be lower and higher, thus suffering from osteoporosis." Dr. Peng said that the reason the elderly osteoporosis, this is because we will start from middle age bone loss, but modern life rhythm too fast, coupled with unhealthy lifestyle, leading to bone loss in advance.
There is no obvious symptom at the beginning of calcium deficiency
According to the introduction, women because of special physiological function, more susceptible to bone disease than men. Combined with a gradual decrease in hormone secretion after the age of 30, bone loss began to increase significantly the chances of osteoporosis in women. According to the study, the proportion of women with osteoporosis is greater than that of men, and the risk of osteoporosis fractures in women's life is 40%, higher than that of breast cancer, endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer, which is 13% higher than that of men.

There are different manifestations of calcium deficiency in all parts of the body, for example, the brain will be nervous instability, love dreams, easy to wake up, poor sleep quality, heart performance is arrhythmia, flustered, palpitation, and so on, and even do not exercise not hot palms will sweat, and some people will lead to constipation and so on ... Dr. Peng pointed out that not all of these symptoms are calcium deficiency, but as long as there is doubt, it is best to go to the hospital to do a bone mineral density test to determine.
She said that osteoporosis in addition to the elderly, there are two kinds of people more high-risk, the first is the development of young people, the second is pregnant expectant mother, breast-feeding calcium loss is huge, mothers are prone to hair, but also with calcium loss.
In addition, modern people rarely outdoor activities, very little contact with the sun, or even do not exercise, like carbonated beverages, are leading to the highest bone loss reasons.
Learn how to save calcium at any time
for how to prevent osteoporosis, your hospital affiliated endocrine Division Peng Chun Chief physician introduced, for women, calcium supplementation is a lifelong lesson, from 20 years old openShould start to develop good habits, 30-year-old bone began to lose, therefore, especially women to improve the awareness of bone must be early.
Simply put, no matter how old you are, you can optimize your bone health by following three basic steps. First, you must ensure that you have adequate vitamin D intake. Second, your diet should contain a sufficient amount of calcium and protein. Finally, you should make sure that you do weight and muscle strengthening exercises every day. "
She said that before the age of 30, the volume and quality of bone increased with growth until the bone was developed and the bone reserve reached its peak level. If you think of bone mass as a bank deposit, then at the age of more than 20, "Try to make bones, spend as little as possible." Drink milk, bask in the sun, eat food with high protein content, exercise, can "make money" for your skeleton.
Dr. Peng says many people think that a high degree of osteoporosis is an early supplement to calcium. As a result, a variety of calcium tablets, CA products flooded the market. In fact, the human body needs calcium is not rely on pure calcium to obtain, but need to eat, exercise, bask in the sun and many other ways. Among them, the proportion of calcium phosphate vitamin D intake is closely related. She said that if vitamin D is missing, it will directly affect the absorption and storage of calcium and phosphorus, but also affect the calcification of bones. Vitamin D must be processed in the body through the liver and kidney to play a role.
