Published July 2, 2009, 6:34 am, Baltimore Sun

Long known to be a concern of aging women, osteoporosis turns out to be nearly as common in older men, a new study suggests. Doctors routinely screen women in their sixties for thinning bones. But there are no guidelines for checking the bones of male patients.

  • Osteopenia - Osteopenia Treatment: Osteopenia Treatment Good news! - Osteopenia is preventable and treatable for almost everyone. No matter how old you are, it is never too late to start! Building strong bones during your youth is the best defense against getting osteopenia later. Building strong bones at a young age will lessen the effects of the natural bone loss that starts around age 30. If you are old or young, build your bone health using the following advice. 1. Get enough calcium each day The best way to prevent osteopenia is to get enough calcium along with the other co-factors such as magnesium, trace minerals, vitamins D3 and K2 in your diet. Osteopenia and Osteoporosis are not problems of insufficient calcium intake but rather of incorrect calcium utilization because we do not get sufficient amounts of these co%

  • Cyclists Need More Exercise To Build Bone Mass on ADVANCE for Healthy Aging: Cycling may appear to be one of the best exercises to recommend for active baby boomers who don't want to keep pounding on their bones. But recent research shows cycling may not have provide enough impact to build bone. Recent studies suggest an alarming correlation between bicycling and the onset of osteopenia (lower-than-no rmal bone density) or osteoporosis (very low bone mineral density), even among those who are young and fit. Cycling provides a low-impact sport-and the weight-bearing nature of exercise is often what causes bones to build more mass. Without such stress, bones do not get stronger, and become more prone to injury. "Unfortun ately, many people consider osteoporosis a disease that primarily concerns women and the elderly," says Dr. Warren P. Levy, president, and CEO of Unigene Laboratories, which delivers peptide-based nasally delivered osteoporosis treatment.
  • Cycling May Lead To Lower Bone Density : EveryJoe - Sports News - Tech ...: Bicycling is great exercise. I used to do quite a bit of bicycling in my teens and my 20?s, but it?s kind of hard down here in NC because there is no paves shoulders on the road and it?s dangerous to try to ride on secondary roads. When I move back up to Upstate New York I?ll be buying another bicycle and getting back in to it. Bicycling burns calories but according to a recent study that was featured in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, cyclist may not be consuming enough calories. Warren Levy is quoted in the article.
  • HealthNewsDige st.com: A surprising correlation appears to exist between certain exercises and low bone density. While maintaining a steady regimen of aerobic exercise is one of the best things people can do for their general good health, low-impact sports such as bicycling and swimming might leave otherwise young and fit athletes susceptible to the early onset of osteopenia (lower-than-no rmal bone density) or the more advanced condition known as osteoporosis (lower bone mineral density with significant risk of bone fracture).
