Bone Densitometers Are Increasing In Demand Due To Growing Prevalence Of Osteoporosis And Endocrine Disorders

Bone Densitometers
Bone Densitometers

A Bone Densitometers is a device that is used to measure the density of a person's bone. The device is commonly used to detect osteoporosis. It is also used to diagnose diseases that cause bone degeneration. In recent years, the popularity of densitometers has increased significantly.

As people age, their bones start to become porous and weak, which leads to chronic pain, disability and death. Moreover, aging individuals lose their bone mass faster than it can be replaced. This leads to increased osteopenia in both males and females. Osteopenia is estimated to have a four-fold higher incidence in women than in men.

Bone Densitometers are used to measure the bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine. It can also be used to measure the thickness of the bone, as well as to calculate the volume fraction of the trabecular bone disk. There are two types of densitometers: computer-assisted and ultrasonic.

Computer-assisted densitometers have proven to have high accuracy and ease of use. They also have reduced measuring time. Increasing geriatric population, rising healthcare expenditure in emerging countries and growing public awareness are factors increasing demand for densitometers all over the world.

These devices can be used for diagnosis of osteoporosis, osteopenia and osteoarthritis. As a result, these diseases are considered as a major contributor to the increasing use of densitometers. Furthermore, increasing healthcare expenditure in developing countries is expected to drive the growth of densitometers industry.

Factors that will increase demand for Bone Densitometers Market is the growth in the endocrine disorders.

Endocrine disorders are linked to bone loss and contribute to osteoporosis. Thus, the increasing prevalence of vitamin D deficiency will further boost the demand for densitometers. In November 2022, Medimaps Groups entered into partnership with OsteoSys Co., Ltd., in order to bring Trabecular Bone Score to a leading bone densitometry platform of Korea from OsteoSys.

Sarcopenia Treatment; Training and Physical Exercise Is Key to Counteract Sarcopenia

Image
Sarcopenia Treatment A primary Sarcopenia Treatment is exercise. Researchers have identified resistance training as the specific form of exercise that is most beneficial to individuals with sarcopenia. At present, resistance exercise, protein supplementation, and vitamin D have been established as the basic treatment of sarcopenia. Recent clinical trials on sarcopenia therapies such as physical exercise, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical interventions have revealed that exercise is the only effective strategy shown to alleviate sarcopenia. Sarcopenia refers to a loss of muscle mass specifically related to aging. It's normal to lose some muscle mass as people age. Sarcopenia has been defined as an age-related, involuntary loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. Although aging is the main cause of sarcopenia, some other factors contribute to the loss of muscle mass. Getting little or no physical activity on a regular basis puts people at an increased risk of developing sarcopenia
