Mulheres Correndo Sério Risco de Osteoporose e Fraturas que Causam Perigo de Morte

NYON, Suíça, 17 de outubro de 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- No Dia Mundial da Osteoporose, dia 20 de outubro, a Fundação Internacional contra a Osteoporose (IOF em inglês) está convocando as mulheres para que tomem medidas para a proteção da saúde de seus ossos. Ossos quebrados devido à osteoporose geralmente causam dores, imobilidade e perda da qualidade de vida, assim como a morte precoce. Em mulheres com mais de 45 anos de idade, a osteoporose é responsável por um número maior de dias passados no hospital do que muitas outras doenças, incluindo a diabetes, os ataques cardíacos ou o câncer de mama. Uma boa notícia é que conhecendo os riscos mais cedo, as mulheres podem tomar as devidas providências para prevenir e controlar a osteoporose.

Globalmente, aproximadamente 200 milhões de mulheres são afetadas pela osteoporose – uma doença que torna os ossos fracos e facilmente propensos a fraturas – e com a população com uma média de idade cada vez mais avançada, esta doença deve aumentar dramaticamente. Ao menos que algo seja feito, as futuras gerações poderão viver mais, porém com uma qualidade de vida seriamente comprometida. Embora mulheres de qualquer idade possam estar correndo riscos, na menopausa elas estão especialmente vulneráveis a uma rápida perda de massa óssea.

O professor John A. Kanis, presidente da IOF disse, "A osteoporose é uma ameaça séria à saúde da mulher – uma em três mulheres no mundo, com mais de 50 anos de idade sofrerá um fratura óssea devido à osteoporose. Apesar disso muitas mulheres não têm consciência do aumento do risco após a menopausa e não tomam medidas preventivas".

A IOF recomenda cinco estratégias essenciais para ajudar a manter a força dos ossos e dos músculos em uma idade mais avançada:

  1. Pratique exercícios de 30 a 40 minutos, três a quatro vezes por semana e inclua uma mistura de treinamento de resistência com exercícios de musculação. Ao envelhecer, o treinamento de resistência (por exemplo, usando bandas elásticas, aparelhos com pesos) se torna cada vez mais importante.
  2. Siga uma dieta que garanta a saúde de seus ossos incluindo cálcio e proteína, com frutas e vegetais suficientes para equilibrar o aumento da necessidade de proteína. Certifique-se de que esteja também obtendo vitamina D em quantidades suficientes – através do sol, dieta e suplementação, se necessário.  
  3. Evite hábitos negativos como fumar e consumir bebidas alcoólicas em excesso e mantenha um peso saudável. Mulheres abaixo do peso correm um risco maior comparado a aquelas com um índice de massa corporal normal.
  4. Saiba se você tem fatores pessoais que aumentam o risco de osteoporose. Fatores de risco comuns incluem a menopausa precoce ocorrida antes de 45 anos, o uso de glicocorticoides, a artrite reumatoide, distúrbios de má absorção (como a doença de Crohn e a doença celíaca), fratura prévia por fragilidade, ou uma história familiar de osteoporose e fraturas. Um teste de risco está disponível online no website da IOF em http://www.iofbonehealth.org
  5. A menopausa é uma época crítica para que seu médico avalie o estado de sua saúde óssea. Solicite uma avaliação do risco de fraturas (por exemplo, FRAX) e, quando indicado, faça um teste de densidade óssea mineral. Não deixe de seguir o tratamento receitado.

"A mulher é um pilar de força para suas famílias e comunidades. Eu recomendo que todas as mulheres próximas da menopausa tomem providências imediatas em favor da saúde óssea para poderem aproveitar uma boa qualidade de vida e independência por muito tempo no futuro", disse Judy Stenmark, CEO da IOF.

Sobre o Dia Mundial da Osteoporose

Observado anualmente no dia 20 de outubro, o Dia Mundial da Osteoporose é liderado pela IOF e dedicado a aumentar a consciência global do problema da osteoporose e das relacionadas doenças musculoesqueléticas. Participe da nova campanha que dá destaque às mulheres fortes – nomeie uma 'Mulher de Aço' e demonstre seu suporte usando uma roupa de cor branca no Dia Mundial da Osteoporose. http://www.worldosteoporosisday.org;
