Brief Summary: Bone tissue is crucial for overall health and quality of life but it undergoes constant internal remodeling leading to osteoporosis a widespread bone disease Regular physical activity can improve bone mineral density BMD and prevent osteoporosis Studies have shown that premenopausal women with regular physical activity have greater BMD Diagnosing bone resorption is essential and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry tests DXA and circulating microRNAs miRNAs may offer more prognostic potential than conventional markers The gut microbiome may also regulate bone metabolism with metabolites like trimethylamine N-oxide TMAO playing a role A project aims to promote systematic physical activity to improve BMD and well-being support societal mobilization and conduct preventive examinations for osteoporosis risk Implementing systematic prevention is important not only for health but also for reducing social and financial costs associated with osteoporosis and associated fractures
Detailed Description: Bone tissue in addition to providing the body with supportive functions and protecting organs from injury is a metabolically active tissue that influences the proper functioning of other organs Therefore bones are essential for overall health and quality of life Bones undergo constant internal remodeling With prolonged resorption dominance bone mass decreases accompanied by a deterioration of microarchitecture leading to impaired bone strength This pathological condition is called osteoporosis and is one of the most widespread bone diseases in the world
In recent years there has been increasing discussion about the beneficial impact of physical activity on human health Broadly understood physical activity affects the skeletal system which translates into the stimulation of processes related to bone formation in the body It is very important that exercises are performed regularly Among premenopausal women who regularly engage in physical activity a greater bone mineral density BMD has been observed compared to a group of women who do not participate in any physical activity Therefore there is a need to promote physical activity and to tailor physical activities according to the needs arising from both the principles of osteoporosis prevention and the age or hormonal status of women
It is important to note that bone tissue loss is painless and progresses asymptomatically gradually weakening the bones Therefore it is very important to conduct studies that diagnose the progress of bone resorption A milestone in the diagnosis of osteoporosis is undoubtedly the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry test DXA Circulating microRNAs miRNAs may potentially serve as an attractive alternative or addition to the diagnostic arsenal and offer greater prognostic potential than conventional markers Furthermore an increasing number of studies show that the gut microbiome may be a key factor regulating bone physiology It has been shown that bone metabolism can be regulated by metabolites dependent on the gut microbiome The metabolite in question is trimethylamine N-oxide TMAO However so far there have been few studies addressing the impact of TMAO on bone metabolism as well as the underlying molecular mechanisms and the results obtained are not conclusive
The project aims to promote systematic physical activity that improves not only BMD but also the well-being of every individual who exercises By increasing the availability of activation programs this project supports the mobilization of society Furthermore the preventive examinations conducted among individuals qualified for the project allow for the early detection of an increased risk of developing osteoporosis Early diagnosis of the disease prevents serious consequences in the future and increases the chances of a complete cure At the same time the project will undertake pioneering research aimed at enhancing the quality and excellence of the scientific and research staff
The implementation of systematic prevention for this condition is particularly important not only in the context of health but also due to the significant social and financial costs of treating the consequences of osteoporosis and its associated fractures
