You may think men don’t have to worry about bone loss. You’re wrong. Osteoporosis can strike anyone at any time. And it is a silent disease. There are no symptoms until it’s too late and your bones start breaking – sometimes with serious complications. A simple test is all it takes to bring you peace of mind or prompt treatment that could dramatically change your life. What Is Osteoporosis? Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become thin, fragile and more likely to break. Fractures of the hip and spine often have serious complications, requiring major surgery and can lead to loss of independence and severe disability. Osteoporosis is now becoming recognized as a significant problem for men. How Do I Know If I Have Osteoporosis? Specialized tests, called bone density tests, can measure bone density at various sites in the body. A bone density test can: · Detect osteoporosis before you break a bone. · Predict your chances of breaking bones in the future. · Determine if your bone density is lower than it should be and, if so, by how much. · Monitor the treatment you are taking for osteoporosis to see if it has prevented bone loss and increased bone formation. Risk Factors · Physical inactivity · Excessive alcohol intake · Cigarette smoking · Low testosterone levels · Low calcium and Vitamin D levels · Heredity and age Clinical Study Opportunity An investigational medication is being studied for its effectiveness in treating osteoporosis in men. · You may qualify for the study if you are a man between the ages of 50 and 85. · A simple test will determine whether you have osteoporosis. · If you are eligible for the study and decide that you wish to take part, you will be given study medication for 2 years. Full instructions on what will be involved will be given before you make any commitment to join. · During the study, you will be compensated for your travel expenses. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Get screened now! CALL 501-686-5087 for your FREE osteoporosis screening. Univ. of Arkansas Medical Sciences 4301 West Markham Street, #587 Little Rock, AR 72205 Phone: 501-686-5087
