STRONG BONES, STRONGER LIVES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr Tanya van der Made, a specialist endocrinologist based in Ballito, explains the importance of bone health and its connection to the endocrine system.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"An endocrinologist\u2019s training allows us to \u201cconnect the dots\u201d of numerous investigations to arrive at a diagnosis. It\u2019s a time-intensive process but rewarding, as it allows us to track changes over time and intervene, when necessary, while preserving the body\u2019s natural, healthy endocrine system.<\/p>\n

Bone health is a prime example of this intricate balance. Bone is a dynamic organ, continuously breaking down and rebuilding itself at a microscopic level. It\u2019s not static, and it needs to be respected. Neglecting this can lead to dire consequences, such as atypical fractures that occur when bone density improves without corresponding strength. This often happens when patients on oral bisphosphonate medications are not adequately monitored.<\/p>\n

What is osteoporosis?<\/strong>
\nOsteoporosis, a silent yet debilitating condition, affects millions worldwide, compromising bone strength and significantly increasing the risk of fractures. When the balance of bone formation is disrupted, bones lose their density and strength, becoming susceptible to fractures.<\/p>\n

Osteoporosis is not restricted to older women, as is often assumed. Men and younger individuals are also at risk, particularly those with underlying chronic conditions, hormonal imbalances, or specific lifestyle factors.<\/p>\n

The primary causes of osteoporosis are multifaceted. Aging and hormonal changes, especially reduced oestrogen levels after menopause, are well-recognised contributors. However, other conditions, including diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, and long-term corticosteroid use for conditions like asthma or rheumatoid arthritis, can also accelerate bone loss. A condition called hyperparathyroidism is often missed and it is caused by overactivity of the parathyroid gland causing calcium to leach out of your bones and increased calcium levels in the blood. This is an important secondary cause to exclude as a cause of osteoporosis. Family history, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and insufficient physical activity further exacerbate the risk and ongoing deterioration
\nof bone.
\nIdentifying risk factors early and conducting regular screenings can help prevent fractures and even save lives.<\/p>\n

Preventing and treating osteoporosis<\/strong>
\nPrevention starts with a healthy lifestyle. Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, regular weight-bearing exercise, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption are key. For those already diagnosed, there are numerous treatments available. These range from medications that slow bone loss, to those that actively rebuild bone. It\u2019s a misconception that osteoporosis cannot be treated \u2013 there are many effective options to discuss with your doctor.
\nI advocate for proactive community care and early diagnosis. Anyone over the age of 50 should consider a bone density scan and, if at risk, follow up every 18\u201324 months. Persistent back or hip pain should also be a red flag for potential bone health issues and warrants investigation.
\nTreatment options for osteoporosis have advanced significantly in recent years. Medications such as bisphosphonates and denosumab work to slow bone loss, while anabolic agents like teriparatide stimulate bone formation. Hormonal therapies may also be appropriate in select cases. However, these treatments must be tailored to the individual, taking into account their medical history, risk factors, and overall health.
\nAs an endocrinologist, my role in managing osteoporosis extends beyond prescribing medications.<\/p>\n

Community engagement and success stories<\/strong>
\nMy favourite success story recently has been organising the \u201cWiggle Your Bones\u201d run, which had over 66 participants, including some four-legged furry friends. The event aimed to raise awareness about bone health while encouraging physical activity \u2013 a key component of osteoporosis prevention.
\nCommunity engagement is crucial because too often, people suffer in silence. By sharing knowledge and fostering open conversations, we can empower individuals to take charge of their health and ensure that osteoporosis is detected and managed effectively.
\nMy aim was simply to get people to talk about osteoporosis and raise awareness. This was done with support from NOFSA (National Osteoporosis Foundation of South Africa) who have their main event in Cape Town.
\nLet\u2019s challenge the misconceptions and work together to prevent fractures and improve bone health across all ages. Remember, it\u2019s never too early \u2013 or too late \u2013 to take care of your bones.
