colour X-ray of upper femur with osteoporosis
Osteoporosis. False-colour X-ray of the upper part of a femur (thigh bone) affected by osteoporosis. In osteoporosis the density of bone tissues decreases increasing the brittleness of the bones and the probability of fractures. When the upper femur is affected fractures of the neck, coloured here in yellow-orange, are very common. Bones naturally become thinner as a person ages. Significant osteoporosis usually affects women, above all after the menopause, because their ovaries no longer produce oestrogen hormones which help to maintain bone mass. By the age of 75 about half of all women have suffered from at least one fracture due to osteoporosis.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-color X-ray of the upper femur affected by osteoporosis, a condition that leads to decreased bone density and increased brittleness. The image vividly illustrates how the bones become thinner as we age, with significant impact on women, particularly after menopause when estrogen production declines. Osteoporosis poses a serious threat as it significantly raises the likelihood of fractures. The yellow-orange hues in this X-ray highlight the common occurrence of fractures in the neck region of the upper femur when affected by osteoporosis. These fractures can have severe consequences for individuals suffering from this disease. Osteoporosis is not only a medical concern but also an important public health issue. By the age of 75, approximately half of all women have experienced at least one fracture due to osteoporosis. This emphasizes the urgent need for preventive measures and effective treatments to combat this debilitating condition. Science Photo Library brings us this remarkable visual representation that sheds light on both the physical effects and underlying causes of osteoporosis. It serves as a reminder that maintaining strong bone health is crucial throughout our lives, especially for women who are more susceptible to developing significant osteoporosis.
