OSC says women need to do more to protect against osteoporosis Canadian women are not taking the necessary precautions to prevent osteoporosis after menopause, report two national surveys released by the Osteoporosis Society of Canada (OSC). Although many are concerned about developing the disease, 53 per cent of women surveyed said they lack the time to take the necessary steps to safeguard their health. This finding is of particular con­ cern to the OSC, whose primary mandate is to educate women about the importance of taking a proactive approach in the prevention and treat­ ment of osteoporosis. “These sur­ veys clearly demonstrate that women may not recognize just how serious a disease it can be, and are not taking steps now to safeguard their health later on,” says Joyce Gordon, president and CEO of the Osteoporosis Society of Canada. Osteoporosis is a disease charac­ terized by low bone mass and the deterioration of bone tissue. It is often called the “silent thief” because bone loss occurs without symptoms and individuals may not know they have the disease until their bones are so weak that a strain, bump or fall causes vertebrae to col­ lapse or a fracture to occur. While women surveyed do fear the loss of independence that can some­ times be associated with osteoporo­ sis, they do not believe this loss is a realistic consequence of the disease. This gap that exists between fear of loss of independence, and their belief that this loss is not a realistic consequence of the disease, may be one reason why women are not adopting important measures to pro­ tect themselves against osteoporosis as they age. In fact, asked to name the greatest health risk to women over the age of 40, 51 per cent of respondents named breast cancer as the single greatest risk, while only eight per cent named osteoporosis. However, one in four Canadian women over the age of 50 suffers from the disease and more women die each year as a result of osteo­ porotic fractures than from breast cancer and ovarian cancer combined. The lack of awareness around the risk factors for osteoporosis may be another reason why women feel at low risk for developing the disease. Although 61 per cent of survey par­ ticipants identified calcium deficien­ cy as a risk factor for osteoporosis, only a small portion of women iden­ tified other important risk factors for the disease. “Although the lack of calcium and Vitamin D are significant risk fac­ tors, there are other risk factors that women need to be aware of like fam­ ily history of osteoporosis, the loss of estrogen at menopause (particu­ larly if menopause occurs before age 45), limited physical activity, smok­ ing and certain medications. Some risk factors can be modified now to ensure healthy bones later,” adds Gordon. These modifications include eat­ ing a diet rich in calcium and Vitamin D, physical activity includ­ ing weight-bearing exercise and quitting smoking. Drug therapies such as hormone replacement thera­ py, bisphosphonates or selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) may also be recommended for postmenopausal women at high risk. The loss of estrogen at menopause is a significant risk factor for osteo­ porosis because it acts as a protective agent in maintaining healthy bones. Hormone replacement therapy and SERMs can help to offset this estro­ gen loss. “Women need to understand that osteoporosis can result in pain and loss of mobility which can compro­ mise their independence. Therefore, we encourage women of all ages to talk to their doctors early on about their personal risk factors and to take steps now to help them maintain a more productive and healthy lifestyle in their later years,” says Gordon. The first survey, conducted by the Osteoporosis Society of Canada was based on interviews with 500 women between the ages of 35 and 55. The second survey conducted by the Lilly Centre for Women’s Health, and released in partnership with the Osteoporosis Society of Canada, involved over 1,500 women between the ages of 50 and 70 years.
