Osteoporose e suplementos alimentares

Abstract

A osteoporose é a doença mais frequente do metabolismo ósseo, de origem multifatorial que surge normalmente com o avanço idade. Caracteriza-se por uma diminuição da densidade óssea e por um desarranjo da microarquitectura com consequente aumento da fragilidade e suscetibilidade para ocorrência de fraturas. Atualmente esta doença constitui um problema de saúde pública, que contribui para um grande encargo económico em todo o mundo. Diversos nutrientes estão relacionados com a massa óssea, com destaque especial para o cálcio e vitamina D que desempenham um papel crucial na homeostase do tecido ósseo. No sentido de adotar medidas de prevenção do avanço incontrolável desta doença, adquiriram enorme importância de mercado, os suplementos alimentares de nutrientes importantes para o metabolismo ósseo, ganhando destaque no controlo desta patologia. Este trabalho representa uma revisão dos estudos mais recentes sobre o estado atual desta patologia em todo o mundo com maior evidência na avaliação do impacto dos suplementos de cálcio e vitamina D na saúde humana. Outros nutrientes, como o complexo de vitaminas B, vitamina K e magnésio, também são referidos nesta monografia, com uma ação menos significativa que os anteriores, mas com desempenhos igualmente importantes no metabolismo ósseo, como demonstram estudos científicos mais recentes.

Osteoporosis is the most common disease of bone metabolism. It has multifactorial causes, and generally appears with age. This condition is defined by low bone density and a disarrangement of the bone’s microarchitecture, with consequential increase in its frailty and making it more susceptible to fractures. Nowadays, osteoporosis is considered a public health issue, causing a deep economic impact all around the world. Various nutrients are associated with bone density, but calcium and vitamin D play a key role on tissue homeostasis. In order to prevent the unbridled spread of the disease, food supplements, containing important nutrients, are becoming relevant as a means of controlling the condition. The present document aims to review the most recent studies related to the current knowledge on the status of this pathology, specially focusing on the impact of calcium and vitamin D supplements on human health. Other nutrients also need to be considered, like vitamin B complex, vitamin K and magnesium. The less significant action of these elements will also be approached in this work, nevertheless their important role in bone metabolism will be highlighted, as demonstrated by recent scientific studies reviewed in present work.
