I wonder if people would have the energy to fight the disease if they were working in a physical occupation.


I still have not got answers to the question I asked in my post about medications and T and Z scores.

Really? Were you expecting some answers quicker?

How about you have a search on Google? You know, do something for yourself.

You are more than welcome.

If you werent so 'demanding' in the way you phrased your comment then maybe people would help out. That was the point I was making.
Still, the information is in abundance if you search for it.

Well, I would never have guessed that personal information is abundance another good IDEA from you, where do you get them from...perhaps you will want me to search for that as well so I have got a lot of searching to do and will leave the forum for a while to collect posters personal information. ....:T

Interestingly physical activity, especially weight bearing exercise is recommended for osteoporosis as stress on bones increases the bone density.

Programme on BBC1 now about pain and its recommending movement and exercise for back pain and osteo-arthritis pain.

after some search on the net I found this on osteoporosis it appears that people that got it has to be very careful in case of fractures. Have yet to find out about medications. Will keep looking.

Yes, but prevention involves a lifelong effort, starting in early childhood. One of the most important factors in preventing osteoporosis is achieving optimal peak bone mass during childhood, adolescence and early adulthood. Much of the peak bone mass achieved is determined genetically. However, there are several controllable factors that can increase bone mass. These include a balanced diet adequate in Vitamin D and calcium and weight-bearing exercise. It is also important to maintain the bone mass achieved as a child to help prevent osteoporosis. This requires adequate calcium intake, weight-bearing exercise, and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol intake.
At around 40-45 years of age, it becomes important to stop the age-related bone loss that occurs. This includes adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, weight-bearing exercise and hormone replacement.
