GENEBRA, 18 de outubro de 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Marine fraturou a coluna quando se curvou para ajudar sua mãe com mobilidade reduzida. Lo Lan quebrou o quadril depois de tropeçar em um tapete sollto em sua casa.

Ambas as mulheres têm algo em comum. Elas não sabiam que tinham osteoporose, uma doença que faz com que os ossos fiquem fracos e tão frágeis quanto vidro. As pessoas com osteoporose podem fraturar um osso com uma pequena queda, ou simplesmente ao espirrar ou ao se curvar para amarrar o cadarço do sapato.

Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and easily breakable, resulting in life-changing fractures. Older adults who are alert to their possible osteoporosis risk factors can take steps for timely prevention by asking for testing and treatment if needed.
Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and easily breakable, resulting in life-changing fractures. Older adults who are alert to their possible osteoporosis risk factors can take steps for timely prevention by asking for testing and treatment if needed.
With osteoporosis, bones become progressively more porous and fragile. People with osteoporosis can fracture a bone because of a minor fall from standing height, a bump, or even from bending to tie a shoelace.
With osteoporosis, bones become progressively more porous and fragile. People with osteoporosis can fracture a bone because of a minor fall from standing height, a bump, or even from bending to tie a shoelace.

Em todo o mundo, uma em cada três mulheres e um em cada cinco homens com idade igual ou superior a 50 anos sofrerá uma fratura provocada pela osteoporose. Aproximadamente 200 milhões de pessoas estão afetadas por esta doença, o que resulta em uma fratura a cada 3 segundos.

No Dia Mundial da Osteoporose (World Osteoporosis Day), 20 de outubro, a Fundação Internacional de Osteoporose (IOF - International Osteoporosis Foundation), juntamente com suas 250 sociedades nacionais no mundo inteiro, apelam para que a geração mais velha tome conhecimento dos fatores de risco da osteoporose e consultem seus médicos caso estejam em risco.

Apesar de existirem muitos fatores que possam indicar uma possível osteoporose subjacente, entre os mais comuns estão: um osso quebrado depois dos 50 anos após uma queda não muito traumática; perda de altura de mais de 4 cm (1,5 polegadas); uso prolongado de glucocortocoides e outros medicamentos que danificam os ossos; ser frágil e abaixo do peso, historial familiar de osteoporose ou fratura do quadril. Uma maneira rápida e fácil de alertar uma pessoa sobre o possível risco é a nova Verificação do Risco da Osteoporose da IOF (IOF Osteoporosis Risk Check) on-line.

Uma fratura numa idade mais avançada pode mudar a vida de qualquer um. Dor aguda, reabilitação demorada, imobilidade, dependência de terceiros e perda da qualidade de vida são todas muito comuns. Fraturas do quadril podem ameaçar a vida e a perda de função e independência entre os sobreviventes, com 40% das pessoas impossibilitadas de caminharem independentemente e 60% necessitando assistência após um ano. Consequentemente, 33% são totalmente dependentes ou estão em uma casa de repouso no ano seguinte a uma fratura no quadril.

O Professor Cyrus Cooper, presidente da IOF, declarou:

"Todos os adultos devem fazer da saúde de seus ossos uma prioridade. Manter ossos e músculos fortes é primordial para um futuro ativo e móvel na idade mais avançada. Se você está correndo risco, não hesite em pedir ao seu médico testes e uma estratégia apropriada de tratamento, caso seja necessário. Atualmente, há uma ampla série de tratamentos efetivos para a osteoporose que provaram reduzir o risco de fraturas do quadril até 40% e fraturas da coluna entre 30-70%".

A IOF também solicita que as autoridades de saúde priorizem a saúde dos ossos e desta forma reduzam a dispendiosa carga humana e econômica das fraturas causadas por fragilidade em seus países.

O Professor Cooper acrescentou: "Como especialistas no campo, nos unimos aos defensores dos nossos pacientes que solicitam uma ação global. Uma lacuna generalizada no tratamento está deixando os pacientes com maiores riscos desprotegidos contra as fraturas. Um indivíduo que já tem uma fratura por fragilidade está altamente vulnerável a fraturas adicionais, com risco cinco vezes maior de outra fratura acontecer dentro do primeiro ano. Mesmo assim, aproximadamente 80% desses pacientes não são identificados nem tratados pela causa adjacente, a osteoporose".

Uma estratégia importante para tratar da lacuna no tratamento e a crise global das fraturas por fragilidade é a implementação dos Serviços de Manejo de Fraturas (Fracture Liaison Services) em todos os hospitais que atendem pacientes com fraturas. Tais serviços coordenados e multidisciplinares melhoram os cuidados com o paciente e ajudam a reduzir o número de fraturas secundárias – e, por fim, diminuem os enormes custos de cuidados com a saúde relacionados com fraturas em todo o mundo.

Realizada anualmente a 20 de outubro, a campanha solicita ação global na luta contra a osteoporose e fraturas em todo o mundo. www.worldosteoporosisday.org
