Bone Health Tips:\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n

Bone is a living tissue. It comprises of cells that are in a constant state of a turnover. The various components that form bone are formed and the older components replaced. The components respond to the general health and the presence of a disease. It is also responsive to the general activities such as walking. The quality of bone density drops when a person is bed-bound. A similar trend is noted in the astronauts in a zero gravity environment.<\/p>\r\n

Bone density can be assessed by specialized scans. One such scan is called the DEXA scan. It provides an objective assessment of bone density<\/strong>. Blood tests give additional information regarding bone quality.<\/p>\r\n

Several factors affect bone health<\/a><\/strong> such as reduced level of activity, age, vitamin D deficiencies, systemic illness and smoking. Mitigating these factors can optimize bone health. Specific medications are sometimes required to improve the bone density.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
