| Abstract:
|
Osteoporosis is distinct as a progressive, systemic, skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mass and
micro architectural weakening of bone tissues with a consequential boom in bone brittleness and
defenselessness to fracture. The existing research have shown that bone loss begins from the age of 30–40
years in each men and women. In girls, it has been postulated that menopause is observed through an
instantaneous decrease in bone mass and compactness inside a yr. This accelerated charge of bone loss
influences equilibrium about 10 years after menopause after which merges into a unceasing age-associated loss.
While type 1 or postmenopausal osteoporosis commonly happens earlier than the age of sixty five years and
affects women, Type 2 osteoporosis is frequent after height bone mass has been attained and is found in both
men and women. While women experience marked increase in bone loss during perimenopause and
postmenopause, in men, a small longitudinal bone loss is observed throughout life. This research work
proposes association of femoral bone density with age group of study to know the pervasiveness of regional
osteoporosis in patients.
