Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of exercises plus active vitamin D on the bone mass of the elderly osteoporosis patients. Methods Eighty nine cases of elderly osteoporosis were divided into 2 groups at random, with 45 cases in Group A (control group) and 44 in Group B (treatment group). Every patients in these two groups takes 600mg calcium and 0.25?g ? D 3 daily. At the same time, Group B conducts regular exercises. Results After the simple ? D 3 treatment, the lumbar BMD increased significantly and the level of osseous formation index BGP increased, but the osseous absorption index PYD/Cr did not change significantly. However, after the combined treatment with ? D 3 and exercise, the BMD at both the lumbar vertebra and the hip increased significantly, the level of osseous formation index BGP increased greatly and the osseous absorption index PYD/Cr decreased. Conclusion ? D 3 treatment is more favorable for aged osteoporosis patients in stimulating osseous formation than in inhibiting osseous absorption, and it is advantageous in increasing the bone mass of the lumbar vertebra. The ? D 3 treatment combined with aerobic exercise is helpful not only in increasing the bone mass of the lumbar vertebra and the hip in the elderly patients with osteoporosis, but also in stimulating osseous formation and inhibiting the osseous absorption.
