Questions

True

False

Osteoporosis is more common in men than in women.

Explanation:

Osteoporosis is more common in women than in men, because hormone changes during menopause affect bone density.

1

Osteoporosis can affect mental health.

Explanation:

There is a link between an osteoporosis diagnosis and mental health. People with osteoporosis may become depressed due to limitations in daily life, a fear of falling or embarassment over postural changes.

2

Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption.

Explanation:

Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption and assists the function of bone cells. There are only a few food sources of vitamin D, including fatty fish and cow's milk or plant-based milk. A little sun exposure also gives you a good dose of vitamin D. If you don't get enough vitamin D from food sources or sunlight, you may need to take a supplement.

3

Weight-bearing exercise should be avoided if you have osteoporosis.

Explanation:

Weight-bearing exercises such as tennis or step aerobics can be very beneficial for people with osteoporosis, but ask your doctor first. Weight-bearing exercises are those that you do on your feet. This makes your bones and muscles work against gravity to keep you upright, strengthening them over time.

4

High-sodium foods are bad for your bones.

Explanation:

Salt causes excessive calcium excretion through the kidneys. Because calcium is essential for bone strength, too much salt can weaken bones and lead to osteoporosis.

The row exercise is fundamental for targeting the large muscles in your back. Focusing on these large muscle groups for patients on Androgen Deprivation Therapy will help maintain lean muscle and strength (1).

Begin by standing 1-2 feet behind a chair, with your torso bent over, core engaged, feet slightly wider than hip width. Grasp a dumbbell in your right hand using a weight you can lift 10-15 times, brace your upper body with your left hand on the chair. Alternatively, if you do not have a dumbbell, you can use a water bottle or soup can as a weight instead. Start with your right arm fully extended. Keeping your right elbow close to the body, shoulder slightly pulled down and back, begin to pull the weight up towards your torso. Once your elbow is slightly behind your torso, gradually lower your right arm to an extended position. Repeat this movement for 10-15 repetitions. Perform the same exercise for the opposite side.

Some men find that a clinical exercise physiologist can be motivational and more importantly, they can suggest a program of cardio and strength exercises that are helpful and that you can persist with independently. A regular and consistent exercise program is best, but the type and intensity of the exercises required will also vary between individuals(2).

Before getting started, please check with your doctor to ensure this exercise is right for you. Presenter: Mr. Nick Pratap, Kinesiologist, Vancouver, BC
