●要如何預防骨質疏鬆所造成的骨折?醫師說一定要早期預防、不忽略治療、追蹤,也要避免跌到。
中華民國骨質疏鬆症學會理事長、林口長庚醫院副院長宋永魁說,人人都應該多認識骨質疏鬆,及早開始預防,人體骨質含量35歲前後達到顛峰,過了40歲,骨質即以每年1%至2%的速度流失,女性大約在50至55歲,邁入骨質疏鬆症警戒期,男性則是在65至70歲。
台北書田診所復健科主任潘筱萍說,高危險群要注意早期預防,包括體重過輕、成年後經常骨折或是父母有骨質疏鬆者,長期使用類固醇、抽菸、喝酒或有副甲狀腺功能亢進等特殊病史,都是高危險群。
建議平時就留意身體狀況,定期做骨質密度檢查,由於早期骨鬆並無明顯的疼痛不適,因此當檢查出骨鬆時,必須持續治療、運動、追蹤,千萬不可放任不管。
潘筱萍建議,要避免跌倒,就得注意哪些原因是容易造成跌倒。
老人家特別容易跌倒,原因有內在及外在因素,內在因素包括體力差或特殊筋骨關節病變、反應較慢、平衡功能失常,老人家的感覺能力也較差,視力、聽力大不如前,肢體等身體部位的「本體覺」也減弱。
分析外在因素,三分之一的跌倒發生在居家環境,特別是廚浴樓梯、濕滑或不平地面、昏暗空間、光差大,不過外出時也得小心不熟悉的新環境,或是照明差、有移動物體、不平路面等問題。(劉惠敏)
