[The frequent areas, risk-factors and protective methods for the fracture in osteoporosis].
Fracture in osteoporosis frequently occurs in the vertebrae, proximal ends of the femur and humerus, and distal end of the radius, in which bone has a thin cortex and much marrow. Aside from various risk-factors for osteoporosis, which are natural risk-factors, risk of falling down (disturbance of mortility and equilibrium, dementia), remodeling of the trabeculae under a state of lack of bone mineral and unequal weight-bearing, slenderness (emaciation), and an inherited status must be included. Therapeutic exercise is desirable for prevention of osteoporotic fracture, because it is effective for against reduction of a bone mineral and prevention of falling and it more over reproduce weight-bearing trabeculae well.
