VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES AND FRACTURE RISK
The more the better? Not really when it comes to several vitamin deficiencies! A new study told that the cumulative effect of vitamin deficiencies intensified the risk of incident fractures in postmenopausal women. Vitamin D, vitamin K and vitamin B levels were taken in women over 50 years old and tracked for 6.3 years (plus or minus 5.1 years). 29.7% of these women experienced fractures during this time. The total of deficiencies (0/no deficiencies to 3/deficient in D, K and B) was significantly related to fracture risk. (1) Regarding this report, Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn notices the importance of checking for vitamin deficiencies and deal with them.
WHAT TO DO TO FIX VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES AND AVOID Ashburn and Herndon FRACTURES
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn notes that the risk of fragility fractures is more than the risk of breast cancer for postmenopausal women. 33% are at risk. Luckily, Ashburn and Herndon fracture risk may well be limited by healthy lifestyle modifications like vitamin supplementation, weight-bearing exercise, limited alcohol consumption and not smoking. Vitamin supplementation including at least 1000 mg/day of calcium, 800 IU/day of vitamin D, and 1 gram/kilogram of body weight of protein in women over 50 is suggested. (2) Vitamin D with calcium supplementation reduces the risk of total fractures by 15% and hip fractures by 30%, specifically. (3) Oral vitamin K supplementation (phytonadione and menaquinone-4) reduced bone loss. Menaquinone-4 showed the strongest effect on vertebral fracture reduction. (4) And while vitamin B supplementation alone didn’t demonstrate a significant effect on osteoporotic fracture incidence in patients with cerebrovascular disease, it did reveal a modest impact. (5) Patients with very high plasma homocysteine levels and vascular disease seemed to benefit more from vitamin B supplementation (folate, B6, and B12) to prevent osteoporotic fractures. Vitamin B appropriately modifies HCy levels thought to have a role in osteoporotic fracture and bone turnover. (6) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn examines all kinds of factors when guiding patients in nutritional supplementation.
