The widespread disease<\/p>\n<\/div>
Recognize & treat osteoporosis in good time<\/h1>\n<\/div>Our modern lifestyle with too little exercise, an unhealthy diet, smoking, too much alcohol and too little sunshine leads to a wide variety of lifestyle diseases. One of the most dramatic of these is certainly osteoporosis or bone loss. It is considered a real widespread disease, not only in Germany but worldwide. And the problem is set to get worse. According to estimates by the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of people affected by this chronic bone disease could double in the next 20 years.<\/p>\n

The bones become increasingly weakened due to a low mineral salt content, decreasing bone density and a changing bone structure. This “bone loss” is slow, gradual and usually painless. Until finally – without adequate trauma – bone fractures occur: usually in the spine, upper or lower arms, ribs and, particularly dangerously, in the neck of the femur.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/span><\/div>Who is affected?<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\nAn estimated five million women and one million men in Germany, mostly over the age of 50, currently suffer from osteoporosis. The consequences are pain, reduced height and a hunched back, as well as increased bone fragility. Early detection of the disease and its early stages is very important for successful treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/span><\/div>Certainty through measurement<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\nAll too often, osteoporosis goes unnoticed at first because porous bones do not cause pain. Sometimes it takes years before a diagnosis is made. But even after a positive diagnosis, it is possible to live well with a healthy diet and sufficient exercise. The earlier bone loss is noticed, the more effectively we can combat it and avoid painful fractures. A DXA bone density measurement<\/strong><\/a> at the Z.O.R. provides reliable results.<\/p>\n
