Bone Mass Density and Osteomyelitis in Elderly-An Overview
Abstract: Bone mass density (BMD) plays a critical role in skeletal health, particularly in the elderly, where age-related bone loss increases susceptibility to infections such as osteomyelitis. Osteomyelitis, a severe bone infection often caused by Staphylococcus aureus, is more prevalent in older adults due to factors such as osteoporosis, impaired immune function, diabetes, and peripheral vascular disease. Reduced BMD weakens bone integrity, making it more vulnerable to fractures and microbial invasion, …
