Today's episode features Dr. Arinola Dada, a rheumatologist in Bellevue, Washington at Overlake Arthritis and Osteoporosis Center. She says that as a rheumatologist I work with women who have a higher incidence of autoimmune disease and osteoporosis so she is very passionate about educating women on the importance of screening and exercise for bone health. Her advice to women is stressing the importance of exercise, weight bearing activity, and strengthening for bone health. We chat about the different kinds of arthritis and what osteoporosis is. We talk about the risks associated with osteoporosis, such as increased risk of fractures, and what we can do to decrease those risks. Take a listen to find out more about this important topic!

This is an extremely informative episode for women in midlife and beyond.  We speak with Claire Gill, CEO of the National Osteoporosis Foundation.  Many women don't know how important bone health is as we age. Did you know that Osteoporosis is 90% genetic?Did you know that your bone mass is at its peak at age 25?Do you know your bone density or why it is important to know that answer?Claire states "For women at menopause, we lose bone because of our estrogen loss so when we cease our menses, estrogen drops... and then we can lose up to 20% of our bone mass in the first 5-7 years post menopausal."Learn the answers to the above questions and more on this episode.https://www.nof.org/www.hotflashescooltopics.com 

In this episode National Menopause Foundation board member, Susan Randall, MSN, FNP-BC, talks with Claire Gill, CEO of the National Menopause Foundation about osteoporosis and bone health. Susan is former head of education for the National Osteoporosis Foundation.  All women begin to lose bone at a faster rate at menopause due to a decrease in estrogen. Our experts discuss what you need to know about how to stay bone strong.

Summary: On this episode, we got served! Endocrinologist, Dr. Pauline Camacho, current president of AACE and Professor of Medicine at Loyola University Chicago makes it rain clinical pearls as she schools us on the use of calcium, Vitamin D, bisphosphonate therapy and drug holidays. This is a must listen for anyone treating osteoporosis. Make sure to check out the new 2016 AACE guidelines, which include infographics for patients and their easy to use algorithm. Clinical Pearls: Vitamin D Vitamin D for postmenopausal osteoporosis prevention (women ≥ 50 yo) Optimum Vit D level between 30-50 ng/ml recommend Check PTH if Vit D is very low If secondary hyperparathyroidism then treat until PTH normalizes Usual dose is Vit D2 or D3 1000 to 2000 IU daily Weekly dosing may be required for loading Vit D3 preferred if malabsorption (e.g. post gastric bypass) Vitamin D2 or D3 50,000 IU dosed monthly or biweekly is probably safe despite trials suggesting increased falls2-3 Calcium Calcium recommended total daily intake through diet +/- supplements postmenopausal women 1200 mg daily Men 1000 mg Calcium citrate has better absorption, especially in the elderly or those on PPI Osteoporosis and drug therapy AACE’s four criteria for diagnosis osteoporosis T-score –2.5 or below in the lumbar spine, femoral neck, total, and/or 33% (one-third) radius Low-trauma spine or hip fracture (regardless of BMD) Osteopenia or low bone mass (T-score between –1 and –2.5) with a fragility fracture of proximal humerus, pelvis, or possibly distal forearm Low bone mass or osteopenia and high FRAX® fracture probability based on country-speci c thresholds Bisphosphonate therapy Treat for 5-10 years with oral or 3-6 years with IV bisphosphonates High fracture risk: elderly patients or those with hx of fracture then consider IV agents 1st line (zoledronic acid, denosumab, teriparatide) Therapy is successful if: Stable bone mineral density (BMD) Increasing BMD Diminishing levels bone turnover markers (e.g. N-terminal and C-terminal cross-linked telopeptides)4 Therapy is a failure if: Significant or progressive loss of BMD (using a reliable machine) Fracture occurs Drug holiday may last several years, but ends if: Fracture occurs BMD declines significantly Rising bone turnover markers (telopeptides) After drug holiday the clock resets. Meaning patient may start another full treatment course with bisphosphonate, denosumab or teriparatide After a hip fracture Check Vit D level and replete Start bisphosphonate once Vit D level corrected (usually takes 2-3 months) Routine testing of BMD is recommended for men >70 yo If you can get it covered! Disclosures: Dr. Camacho did not report any relevant financial disclosures. Learning objectives: By the end of this podcast listeners will be able to: Make recommendations for daily intake of vitamin D, recognize appropriate levels, and treat secondary hyperparathyroidism Ensure adequate calcium intake through diet and/or supplementation and counsel patients on risks and benefits Select appropriate bone preserving therapy, treatment course, and learn to monitor for treatment failure Identify appropriate timing of drug holidays and reinitiation of drug therapy  Links from the show: Hot off the press! 2016 AACE Guidelines for postmenopausal osteoporosis https://www.aace.com/files/final-appendix-sept-7.pdf Monthly High-Dose Vitamin D Treatment for the Prevention of Functional Decline RCT JAMA Int Med Jan 2016 Annual High-Dose Oral Vitamin D and Falls and Fractures in Older Women JAMA 2010 Eastell R et al.
