In order for Durability in Old Age Bones
Health Insurance January 28th, 2011
Talking about bone health often discusses the fragility of bone in the elderly. Bone health in childhood and adolescence is sometimes forgotten. In fact, the future of our bones actually determined precisely at these times.
Eating one of the important bone-forming elements, namely calcium, like the opening of deposit. We kept since childhood and adolescence as security in old age. So, before sorry, tabunglah calcium from the outset.
Bone fragility and pain caused a big problem in this country. Ministry of Health noted, the prevalence of osteopenia (early osteoporosis) in Indonesia amounted to 41.7 percent. That means two out of five Indonesian population at risk of osteoporosis.
The figure is higher than the prevalence of the world, ie one in three people at risk of osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is a systemic disease of low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue micro-structure, characterized among others by the fragility, vulnerability to fractures.
Osteoporosis is a common disorder of bone metabolism in adults. Lately, there are many studies that have looked at the root of the problem of osteoporosis in childhood. Bones grow and peaked in adulthood.
Childhood is a critical period of bone development. Amounting to 45 percent growth in bone mass occurs at age 00-10 years. At that time, bone grows lengthwise. As a teenager, about 45 percent of adult bone mass is formed up before the age of 18 years.
“As adults, bone mass development continues until the age of 30 years,” said an orthopedic specialist and Traumatology of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, Lukman Shebubakar, in the event a media workshop titled “Fulfill The Importance of Calcium Intake on to Optimize Growth of School Age Children” some time ago.
For men, the older bone development. While the time span of bone growth is faster in women.
Conversely, in old age the underlying bone that its velocity exceeds the speed of bone production. Rapid loss of bone is influenced gender, lifestyle, genetic and hormonal status.
In women who give birth and menopause, removal of bone occurs more frequently. Women begin to lose calcium from their bones begin around the age of 40 years and boys from age 60 years.
The main builder
Primary prevention of osteoporosis is to build maximum bone density during childhood and adolescence. Bone growth is influenced by the amount of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamins, especially vitamin D are involved in the absorption of calcium. Another factor is the balance of the hormone.
Calcium is the major mineral-forming bone. Minerals also regulate contraction and relaxation of muscles, are involved in nerve transmission, helps blood clotting, and regulate the body’s hormones and growth factors. Total calcium of about 2 percent of body weight. Amounting to 99 percent is stored in bones and 1 percent in body fluids.
When there is a shortage of calcium, the body will take it from the bones. “Every day we’ve definitely lost as much as 170 mg of calcium lost in the process of secretion through the sweat and urine. Lack of calcium intake at the age of children, adolescents, and adults will be felt after entering old age, “said Lukman.
Standardization Development Section Head Food Consumption Community Nutrition Directorate of the Ministry of Health as well as nutrition experts, IIp Syaiful, said that the amount of nutrient adequacy established the Ministry of Health for children aged 7-9 years is 600 mg of calcium per day and for children aged 10-12 years increased to 1000 mg per day. It needs more than doubled compared with the age of 4-6 years, ie 500 mg of calcium per day.
The problem, he says, one nutritional problem in school-age children is a deficiency of certain substances, including calcium.
When entering the age of six, children begin to show its ability to determine the choice of food and seeing the many food choices outside the home. Children are not easy to start again arranged. Milk is rarely consumed also started.
Absorption of calcium is also a problem when there is deficiency of various other substances. He gave an example, deficiency of vitamin D in active form can affect the absorption of calcium. Oxalic acid and phytic acid can also inhibit calcium absorption.
Excessive protein consumption also causes calcium easily excreted through urine. Once the physical and mental stress also reduces the absorption of minerals. “Basically, every type of food has a role
in balancing the input of nutrients daily. Consumption of food should be diverse, “said IIp.
In order to improve bone health, activities of the child’s body must also be considered. Unfortunately, children are also increasingly limited movement, especially in big cities. More child activities within the home and less active. In fact, exercise influence on bone development.
Lukman said, some exercises to strengthen the bones of the simplest is walking, jogging, climbing stairs, and jump rope. Sports games, like tennis, basketball, soccer, and volleyball, is also good for the bones. Exercises about 30 minutes long with a frequency of more than three times in one week. For children, exercise habits that can be customized with child’s play. Congratulations to play while saving calcium ….
