What are the causes of bone-related complications?
Bone health complications associated with Men
Testosterone is the hormone responsible for bone strength in men. In aging men, the levels of testosterone may decline due to the natural ageing process, defect in absorption and availability, decreased physical activity, decreased calcium and vitamin D intake & absorption, defect in healing process of bone caused by injuries, decreased collagen mass in bone, and associated inflammation process are possible reasons for bone health complications in men. All the above factors may lead to bone disorders and associated complications like arthritis, osteoarthritis, and physical disability in men.
Bone health complications associated with Women
Women are more vulnerable than men in terms of bone health complications because their aging process different from men. Estrogen is the hormone responsible for calcium absorption and maintenance of bone strength in women. Women as they age, will have challenge of managing menopause; losing estrogen as natural process of PMS, and their process of function. This process of PMS will induce/cascade the bone loss process, pain, inflammation, arthritis, and osteoarthritis.
