Osteoporosis isa skeletal condition characterized by decreased bone mass, associated with reduced bone strength and increased risk of fractures. mary osteoporosis cccu's as 2 consequence of aging, and describes the loss af trabecular and cortical bone despite normal bone ‘mineralization (.., normal CaP, PO,*, PTH); whereas secondary osteoporosis usually presents with stbnoxmal serum chemistry resulting rom underlying medical contions or certain medications. Primary osteoporosis most commonly affects postmenopausal females type 1 primary osteoporosis), due to increased bone resoration resulting from decreased estrogen levels and old age. Its usually diagnosed when bone mineral density (BMD) measurement by DEXA scan of the lumbar spine, hip, or femoral neck demonstrates at least 25 standard deviations below the young adult mean (Le, T-score = -2.8), or when a patient suffers a fragility fracture (eg. fll from stancing height, minimal trauma). Primary osteoporosis is managed with ifestye modification and medications. Affected patents are encouraged to incorporate regular weight-bearing exercise and adequate intake of €a* and vitamin into aly routines. Additonal, madications such as bisphosphonates, PTH analogs, selective estrogen receptor ‘modulators (SERMSs), or denosumab may be used to increase bone mass or prevent further loss. {Choice B}: Causes of socondary osteoporosis include certain medications (29, corticosteroids, anticonvulsants, anticoagulants, thyroid replacement therapy), excessive alcohol use, hyperparathyroiism, yer matle mons nasbeoon ees, nd rr, Seen oop reereneaeeesten iret a re = remsorao mY are Is Pees {Choice B}: Causes of socondary osteoporosis include certain medications (e9., corticostorcids, anticonvuleants, anticoagulants, thyroid replacement therapy), excessive alcoho use, hyperparathyroiiem, hyperthyrcaism, multiple myeloma, malabsorption syndromes, and anorexia, Secondary osteoporosis.
