“…In general, women are more prone to osteoporosis compared to men. [ 11 ] This is partially attributable to the differences in BMD, bone size, and bone strength between men and women. [ 25 ] Although sex is an unpreventable risk factor for osteoporosis, knowledge about sex differences could help as a preventive measure of the disease in the more susceptible sex.…”

Background: Osteoporosis is a growing public health issue that is prevalent among the Saudi Arabian population. Several risk factors for the disease have been identified and could be modified using preventive strategies, including increasing awareness about the disease in susceptible individuals. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using interview-based questionnaires to evaluate knowledge of osteoporosis risk factors in a sample of 513 Saudi participants attending primary health care centers (PHCCs) in the Hafar Al-Batin region, Saudi Arabia. The analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 21. Findings: A total of 513 participants were surveyed (78.8% female and 21.2% male). The study population had an overall good knowledge about osteoporosis risk factors. The analysis detected significant associations between the level of knowledge and the following parameters: sex, marital status, employment status, and education level ( P < 0.05). Conclusions: The majority of the study cohort had good knowledge of osteoporosis risk factors. The male participants had significantly more knowledge compared to females. Married people had better knowledge scores compared to unmarried ones. Employed and educated participants had significantly better knowledge compared to unemployed and those with an education level less than college. The involvement of primary health care utilizers by physicians and health authorities is highly recommended to increase awareness of osteoporosis.

“…As life expectancy grows both among men and women, a number of fractures also increases and this growth is considered to be related not only to age but also to bad habits. Thus, in the research work by Mariola Janiszewska [27] that concentrated on risk factors causing osteoporosis, 71.25 % respondents mentioned alcohol abuse, and 56.6 % stated they were smokers. In another research work that also dwelled on issues related to osteoporosis among male patients [28], 38 % respondents mentioned smoking as a risk factor that can cause osteoporosis and more than one third of respondents considered alcohol abuse to be another risk factor.…”

“…It is especially vital when it comes to teenagers. Thus, the research work [27] contains a reference to the work by S. Wahba et al [34], mentioning results of a questioning with 494 participants aged 16-24 living in Cairo; only 6 % teenagers and young people knew that smoking can cause osteoporosis. And though 41.7 % adult women [35] among the examined ones realized that smoking was a risk factor that could cause osteoporosis, more than a half questioned women didn't see any relations between the disease and this bad habit.…”

Osteoporosis is a persistent social and medical issue taking into account moral and material losses related to bone fractures occurring against its background. The disease is more frequently examined in women than in men; still, according to EVOS (European Spinal Osteoporosis Study) 13.5 % men older than 50 and 26 % men older than 60 run high risks of fractures in case they have osteoporosis. Risk factors that cause both the disease itself and fractures as its complications have not been examined profoundly, even though men run 1.6 times higher risk of death after a fracture than women. There is an assumption that a reason for this higher mortality is lack of knowledge about risk factors that cause the disease and a fracture as one of its complications. Growing morbidity with osteoporosis among men indicates it is necessary to perform activities aimed at persuading them to pursue healthy lifestyle. Given that, it seems important to assess impacts exerted by smoking and alcohol abuse on risks of fractures among patients with primary osteoporosis bearing in mind prevention of the disease and fractures as its complications. We examined a relation between smoking and alcohol abuse and risks of fractures as osteoporosis markers in 231 patients suffering from primary osteoporosis. We revealed that fractures were authentically more frequent among smoking patients, 90.5 % against 68.1 % (р˂0.001). It was primarily true for fractures of the proximal section in the thigh bone and fractures of vertebral bodies: 20.2 % against 8.8 % and 44.1 % against 27.3 % accordingly. Alcohol abuse also resulted in authentically higher risks of fractures, 89.8 % against 66.2 % accordingly (р˂0.001). Authentic discrepancies were detected only for fractures of vertebral bodies, 43.9 % against 23.6 % accordingly among those who didn't abuse alcohol (р˂0.001). Therefore, we have evidence that there is an authentic relation between smoking and alcohol abuse and risks of fractures of the proximal section in the thigh bone and vertebral bodies. Inclusion of our research results into educational programs may lead to a reduction in frequency of fractures that have the gravest outcomes for health and cause the highest economic losses.

“…improving blood supply to the tissue, improving elasticity and, consequently, maintaining correct joint range of motion. Physical exercise also speeds up the conversion of cartilage into bone, thus supporting the growth process [11,13,22,23,24]. Importantly for type 1 diabetics, regular training reduces the need for insulin after physical exercise and increases the sensitivity of cells to insulin, so that the daily dose of insulin may be reduced.…”

Funds collection zebranie funduszy Summary According to the Physiotherapist Act, physioprophylaxis is an important component of physiotherapy and of the physiotherapist's professional activities. Physioprophylaxis can be oriented towards practicing healthy lifestyle behaviours, minimizing disease risk factors, or attenuating the consequences of the disease, surgery, and/or disability. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycaemia, i.e. high blood glucose levels. It is caused by the dysfunction or destruction of β cells of pancreatic islets of Langerhans, which are responsible for the production and secretion of insulin. Type 1 diabetes is most common in children and adolescents. According to the 2018 report, 6,400 children aged 0-14 years and about 180,000 people over 14 years old suffer from type 1 diabetes in Poland alone. Physical activity is an important stimulus for optimal physiological development of children and adolescents, and is an important factor in reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and mortality. Physical exercise reduces the need for insulin and increases the sensitivity of cells to insulin, so that the daily dose of insulin can be reduced. The Polish Diabetes Association recommends that children with type 1 diabetes should exercise for more than one hour a day in order to reduce the risk of vascular complications associated with the disease. The aim of this paper is to examine the effects of type 1 diabetes physioprophylaxis in children in the form of physical exercise, based on previous literature. The majority of research indicates physical activity has a positive effect on physiological function in children with type 1 diabetes, specifically reducing the risk of hypoglycaemia, high blood glucose level, insulin demand, and premature death.
