  • Zgodnja preventiva osteoporoze = Early preventive of osteoporosis
    Maurič, Danilo ; Bigec, Martin ; Šijanec, Tone
    Because of its consequential fractures, osteoporosis is the cause of increasing morbidity, mortality and social-economic costs in the developed countries. Acquiring the optimal peak bone mass in ... girls and young women is probably the most important preventive measure for lowering the risk of futurefractures due to osteoporosis. Not enough attention has been paid to thebone modelling in girls and young women, especially in the period from 11-14 years of age, when the bone modelling is fastest and strongest. The aim of early when the bone modelling is fastest and strongest. The aim of early prevention of osteoporosis is a physically active young girl with well-regulated function of hormones and adequate nutrition, who is aware, thatstrong and healthy bones are the basis for a long and productive life and therefore avoids bad habits which have negative influence on bone modelling. Bone status and success of early prevention of osteoporosis in young women could be shown only by screening of the bone mass modelling. With ultrasound measurement (osteo-sonometry) of the bones mineral content in all young women at 20 and 30 years of age, all the women who have not achieved optimal peak bone mass would be considered as potential candidates for the developing of osteoporosis. Social-economic profit of the lower number of fractures would beevidently higher than the cost of two early screenings.
