The doctor in the city have recently noticed that the number of youngsters having osteomalacia in the city have increased over the past few years. These people are in their early thirties and have osteomalacia, a condition in which the bones become weaker and softer than the normal.
About ten to fifteen percent of orthopaedic cases in Pune have been reported by the doctors as osteomalacia. If untreated, osteomalacia can later develop into osteoporosis at an early age in these people. So they need to know the importance of vitamin D and the importance of calcium.
Abhay Kulkarni, an orthopaedic surgeon of Sahyadri Hospital says that, “Both Vitamin D and dietary calcium intake is very low in our population. Increase in smoking habits, and sedentary lifestyle are other reasons for sudden increase in cases osteomalacia.” In this condition, the quality of bones depreciates, but in osteoporosis the quantity and the quality of the bones both get depreciated. So those who have osteomalacia are at greater risk of developing the disease, if osteomalacia is not diagnosed on time.
Doctors say that both these problems can be avoided if you have a healthy diet and lifestyle during your teenage years and even before that. The symptoms of osteomalacia are muscle ache, fatigue, muscle cramps, and lack of enthusiasm. Orthopaedic surgeon, Ramesh Ranka of Ranka Hospital observes that most of the youngsters of the city have developed osteomalacia because of consuming alcohol, smoking, unhealthy lifestyle and lack of exercise.
He suggests that this can be prevented by taking adequate precautions in order to avoid a prolonged treatment for the disease. He adds that “Osteoporosis is associated with morbidity and is the most common cause complicating life threatening-fractures in the elderly. The numbers are definitely increasing, but we have to track symptoms of osteomalacia that is found in youngsters so that it does not progress to osteoporosis.”
The orthopaedic surgeons say that the best time to take precaution against this disease is in the twenties and thirties of an individual. This is because in this age, the development of bone mass takes place and after that the density of bone goes down. Apart from consuming a nutritional diet rich in calcium they should also exercise regularly. They should avoid junk food. Exposure to sunlight for about half an hour is also very important. However, as most of us remain indoors, we do get exposure to sunlight.
The minimum intake of calcium for an individual should be about 1,000 mg. However, various studies indicate that in India, it is as low as 350 mg in the urban population and 275 mg in the rural population. No doubt that the patients complaining of osteomalacia has risen in the city.
