Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterized by an imbalance between bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts, in which the bone microarchitecture is compromised. Osteoporosis is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality; in Italy there are almost 80.000 femur fractures each year, this is the reason why it is necessary to understand which are the influencing factors. Subjects who are likely to suffer a fracture should undergo an appropriate drug treatment, combined with a healthy lifestyle, while for those do not have a really high risk of fracture, it would be recommended to combine an healthy workout with a diet including: calcium, phosphorus, boron, zinc, copper, vitamin D, omega 3 and silicon. The silicon improves the bone demineralization, making the bone much stronger and harder. The Equisetum arvense is a plant containing an important quantity of silicon, therefore it is used as a phytotherapeutic in bone disorder, such as osteoporosis.
L’osteoporosi è un disordine scheletrico caratterizzato da uno squilibrio tra riassorbimento osseo mediato dagli osteoclasti e formazione dell’osso mediato dagli osteoblasti, in cui viene compromessa la microarchitettura ossea. L’osteoporosi rappresenta una delle principali cause di morbilità e mortalità; in Italia ogni anno si verificano 80.000 fratture di femore, risulta pertanto necessario comprendere i fattori che la influenzano. I soggetti che presentano un elevato rischio di frattura devono seguire un trattamento farmacologico appropriato, abbinato ad uno stile di vita sano, mentre per i soggetti che non presentano un rischio sufficientemente alto, risulterà utile come strumento di prevenzione, per aumentare la densità minerale ossea, abbinare all’esercizio fisico una corretta alimentazione comprensiva di: calcio, fosforo, boro, zinco, rame, vitamina D, omega 3 e silicio. Il silicio migliora la remineralizzazione ossea, rendendo l’osso più forte e resistente. Una delle piante che ne contiene un maggior quantitativo ed utilizzata come fitoterapico nei disturbi ossei, come l’osteoporosi, è l’ Equisetum arvense.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterized by an imbalance between bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts, in which the bone microarchitecture is compromised. Osteoporosis is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality; in Italy there are almost 80.000 femur fractures each year, this is the reason why it is necessary to understand which are the influencing factors. Subjects who are likely to suffer a fracture should undergo an appropriate drug treatment, combined with a healthy lifestyle, while for those do not have a really high risk of fracture, it would be recommended to combine an healthy workout with a diet including: calcium, phosphorus, boron, zinc, copper, vitamin D, omega 3 and silicon. The silicon improves the bone demineralization, making the bone much stronger and harder. The Equisetum arvense is a plant containing an important quantity of silicon, therefore it is used as a phytotherapeutic in bone disorder, such as osteoporosis.È consentito all'utente scaricare e condividere i documenti disponibili a testo pieno in UNITESI UNIPV nel rispetto della licenza Creative Commons del tipo CC BY NC ND.
