Osteoporosis as a pediatric disease: role of calcium and heredity.

Osteoporosis is characterized by a reduction in bone mass. This reduction may be determined during growth or acquired in later life. Since osteoporosis is easier to prevent than to treat, the goal is therefore to identify individuals who might be at high risk. We suggest that the identification of those individuals should start in childhood and adolescence. Calcium intake and skeletal modelling/turnover are the most important determinants of calcium balance during this age period. Adequate calcium supply should contribute to peak bone mass and therefore prevention of osteoporosis later in life. We indicate that genetic information from both parents plays an important role as well.

[Complications of pediatric diseases].

A review of all medical reports on patients discharged from the Central Hospital in Viborg from 1974 to 1986 after measles (M), mumps (F), German measles (R), or chickenpox (S) revealed a total of 294 patients suffering from complications, 128 after M, 142 after F, 9 after R, and 15 after S. A total of 373 complications was encountered. Neurologic complications were seen in 166 cases most frequently after F, and superinfection was seen in 105 cases most frequently after M. Sequelae were seen in 3 cases of M, 2 cases of S. and in one case of R. In all cases sequelae were caused by damage in the central nervous system. More widespread use of vaccination is urged.
