Light micrograph of compact bone with osteoporosis
Osteoporosis. Light micrograph of compact bone affected by osteoporosis. Compact bone makes up the hard outer parts of the shafts of long bones. In osteoporosis, its density decreases so that large spaces form (as seen here), increasing the brittleness of the bone, and making fractures more likely. Osteoporosis affects elderly people as part of the ageing process, but it is more common in women after the menopause as their ovaries stop producing oestrogen hormones which help maintain bone mass. It is irreversible, but its progress can be slowed by a healthy diet rich in calcium and regular exercise. Differential interference contrast. Magnification: x200 at 6x9cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a light micrograph of compact bone affected by osteoporosis, a condition characterized by the gradual decrease in bone density. Compact bone forms the sturdy outer layer of long bones, but in osteoporosis, it undergoes significant changes leading to the formation of large spaces within its structure. These empty spaces contribute to increased brittleness and make fractures more likely. Osteoporosis primarily affects elderly individuals as part of the natural aging process. However, it is more prevalent among women after menopause due to decreased production of estrogen hormones by their ovaries. Estrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining bone mass, making postmenopausal women particularly susceptible to this irreversible disorder. While there is no cure for osteoporosis, its progression can be slowed down through certain lifestyle choices. A healthy diet rich in calcium and regular exercise are key factors that help maintain optimal bone health and minimize further deterioration. The detailed image was captured using differential interference contrast microscopy at a magnification level of x200 on a 6x9cm size frame. This visually striking photograph not only highlights the intricate nature of compact bone but also serves as an educational tool for understanding the impact of osteoporosis on skeletal health.
