People all know that eating irregularity such as anorexia and bulimia can damage women's bones, but the latest research results show that the same applies to men. Moreover, when men eat irregularly, their bone damage is even more serious than that of women.
Dr. Arnold Andersen of the University of Iowa and his colleagues studied this topic. They studied 380 people with irregular diet, 46% of whom were male. The results showed that the bone calcium density of men with irregular diet was much lower than that of men with regular diet.
According to the research results, compared with women, especially those men who suffer from hunger, if they eat irregularly, they are more likely to suffer from bone damage. Researchers pointed out that men who have osteoporosis are generally caused by irregular diet. This kind of bone damage is not only a complication of common irregular diet, but also a serious problem.
Dr. Andersen told Reuters Health that it is estimated that about one sixth of men have bad habits of eating irregularly. It is a pity that many men, even many doctors, do not have enough knowledge of the serious consequences of irregular diet. They always think that this will only happen to women, and ignore that they are also victims. Andersen also added that some clinics for the treatment of dietary diseases did not receive male patients for a long time.
Andersen also talked about the treatment of bone injury. He said that there is no fixed best treatment for osteoporosis caused by irregular diet, but some measures can be taken to help restore bone calcium density. More intake of calcium and vitamin D can promote the growth of bone calcium and increase the resistance strength of bone calcium.
However, for men with osteoporosis, they should try to avoid violent physical confrontation and contact in sports and other high-intensity sports, because it is very easy to fracture.
The researchers also found that the male hormone content of men with irregular diet is usually low, which may also affect bone calcium density. At present, Andersen and his colleagues are exploring ways to restore bone density by using hormones to help men "harden their bones" by increasing the content of male hormones.
