Several Causes of Childhood Osteoporosis

11/17/2015

0 Comments

 
Many Caucasians-particularly light-haired, light-skinned women- have osteoporosis or osteopenia at eighteen. In many cases, it turns out they do not get enough vitamin D. There are many other causes of childhood osteoporosis.
Some well known conditions lead to childhood osteopenia or osteoporosis, including: anorexia nervosa/female athlete triad, asthma, chronic liver and kidney disease, cystic fibrosis, deprivational rickets, diabetes, endocrine disorders, GI disorders, neoplastic diseases, neuromuscular disease, organ transplantation, rheumatic diseases, seizure disorders, sickle cell disease.
Some more uncommon and rare pediatric disorders that can lead to low bone density include: chondrodysplasias, Cushing syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Gaucher disease, hypophosphatasia, idiopathicjuvenile osteoporosis, muscular dystrophies, osteogenesis imperfecta, osteoporosis pseudoglioma syndrome.
“Osteoporosis is a paediatric disease,” so said Charles Dent over thirty years ago, and to a great extent he was right. A high peak bone mass (PBM) may be one of the most important factors in maintaining strong bones in ones elderly years.

Using your principles, I have turned my life around in more ways than I ever would have thought possible. So again, thank you."
