“…Minimal bone health data are available from these contexts and this has inhibited efforts to quantify the burden of osteoporosis in developing nations, especially among rural groups [4,5]. Additionally, bone health information from diverse populations is necessary to determine the degree to which normative data from developed countries may reflect sub-optimal bone density levels.…”

“…Calcaneal quantitative ultrasound (QUS) techniques in particular have proven to be clinically useful as a screening tool for early signs of low BMD, and are highly correlated with dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measures [1][2][3]. Additional reasons for the lack of attention to bone health in developing countries are assumptions that osteoporosis is a disease of developed nations and an inevitable consequence of aging that cannot be effectively treated or prevented [4]. Indeed, key environmental risk factors for the development of osteoporosis are typically associated with a Westernized lifestyle, characterized by low levels of physical activity and poor diets that include processed foods, coffee, and carbonated soda beverages.…”

AbstrakTerdapat hasil yang bervariasi dalam peningkatan bone mineral density (BMD) akibat asupan kalsium mengindikasikan keterlibatan atom mineral lain dalam perkembangan struktur tulang. Kuantitas atom mineral tulang yaitu kadar atom mineral dalam struktur tulang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan karakteristik atom mineral pada gambaran arsitektur (scanning electron microscope/SEM) porosis dibandingkan dengan nonporosis. Sepuluh penderita osteoporosis dengan gambaran SEM porosis dan tujuh penderita gambaran SEM nonporosis terlibat dalam penelitian ini. Tulang yang diambil ketika operasi fraktur dianalisis mikrostruktur dengan SEM dan karakter atom mineral tulang dengan X-ray fluorescence (XRF). Pemeriksaan SEM dan XRF dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Fisika Universitas Negeri Malang. Penelitian dilakukan mulai Agustus 2010 sampai Januari 2011. Uji t dilakukan untuk menentukan perbedaan kadar mineral tulang. Hasil SEM menunjukkan perbedaan porositas dan integritas trabekular antara SEM porosis dan SEM nonporosis. Analisis XRF didapatkan komposisi atom yang lebih tinggi pada tulang SEM nonporosis yaitu P, S, Fe, Ni, Cr, Pb, dan Si. Sebaliknya, komposisi atom yang lebih tinggi pada tulang SEM porosis adalah Cu, Zn, Ca, dan Mo. Perbedaan komposisi atom tersebut tidak berbeda secara bermakna (p>0,05). Simpulan, perkembangan porositas pada osteoporosis tidak didasari oleh kuantitas atom mineral tulang. [MKB. 2013;45(1):23-7] Kata kunci: Arsitektur, atom mineral, komposit, osteoporosis Mineral Atomic Characteristic on Porotic and Non Porotic Architecture of Osteoporosis AbstractThere was variance result in increased bone mineral density (BMD) due to calcium intake which indicates involvement of another mineral atomic in bone structure development. Bone mineral atomic quantity is the level or concentration of mineral atomic in bone structure. Aim of this study was to compare mineral atomic characteristic in architecture (scanning electron microscope/SEM) porotic and non porotic figure. Ten osteoporosis patients with porotic SEM and seven non porotic SEM patients were involved in this study. Bone which was obtained from fracture surgery was analyzed for microstructure by SEM and for bone atomic mineral characteristic by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). Analysis of SEM and XRF were done in Physics Laboratory State University of Malang. This study was done from August 2010 to January 2011. t-test was done to analyse the difference of atomic mineral level. Scanning electron microscope result showed the difference in porosity and trabecular integrity between porotic and non porotic SEM. Analysis of XRF showed atomic composition was higher in porotic SEM such as P, S, Fe, Ni, Cr, Pb and Si. Conversely atomic composition such as Cu, Zn, Ca, and Mo, was higher in non porotic SEM. There was no significant difference between each groups (p>0.05). In conclusion, the development of porocity in osteoporosis is not depend on bone mineral atomic quantity. [MKB. 2013;45(1):23-7]

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease that can be prevented to some extent by awareness of its risk factors and related health behavior. The aim of this study was to collect information about knowledge and awareness of osteoporosis among women living in Jazan and to describe the type of food habits, sociodemographic characteristics, and other osteoporosis-related health behavior. Materials and methods:Self-administered questionnaires were used for data collection. The total participants were 546 women: 88 (16.1%) were health professionals and 458 (83.9%) non health professionals in the age range ≤20 to 50 years. Data collection was facilitated by a trained intern female doctor of dentistry whose task was to administer the distribution and collection of the questionnaires. Results:In total, 61.9% of health professionals and 54.3% of nonhealth professionals scored highly on knowledge of osteoporosis. The respondents of osteoporosis preventive food items were also highly knowledgeable with 50.6 and 52.6% of health and nonhealth professionals respectively. About 48.1% of health professional and 44.2% of nonhealth professional scored low on knowledge of osteoporosis behavior and attitude, vitamin supplements, and sunlight exposure. The age effect on osteoporosis knowledge was 33.8% in young age group and 30.7% in old age group. Conclusion:Our study shows that Jazan women were highly knowledgeable and aware about osteoporosis and its related health behavior and that health professionals and nonhealth professionals were equally aware about osteoporosis-related health matters.
