Older men remain underdiagnosed for Osteoporosis

A new study reveals that many older men who experience a fracture remain underdiagnosed and undertreated for osteoporosis. Details of the study was presented at ACR Convergence, the American College Rheumatology’s annual meeting, recently. Osteoporosis is a common condition that results from a loss of bone mass, measured as bone density, and from a change in bone structure. Bone is living tissue that is in a constant state of regeneration. By their mid-30s, most people begin to slowly lose more bone than can be replaced. As a result, bones become thinner and weaker in structure. This accelerates in women at the time of the menopause. In men, bone loss usually becomes more of an issue around age 70. Osteoporosis can cause significant burden upon patients, including physical symptoms, increased cost of healthcare and mortality. Approximately one quarter of patients with fractures are male, and emerging evidence suggests that men with osteoporotic fractures have worse outcomes than women.

Study reveals positive outlook predicts less memory decline

People who feel enthusiastic and cheerful – what psychologists call ‘positive affect’—are less likely to experience memory decline as they age. This result adds to a growing body of research on the positive affect’s role in ageing. A team of researchers analysed data from 991 middle- aged and older American adults who participated in a national study conducted at three time periods—between 1995 and 1996, 2004 and 2006, and 2013 and 2014. In each assessment, participants reported on a range of positive emotions they had experienced during the past 30 days. In the final two assessments, participants reported on a range of emotions they had experienced during the past 30 days.  The researchers examined the association between positive affect and memory decline, accounting for age, gender, education, depression, negative affect and extraversion.
