| Abstract | Osteoporoza je kronična, sistemna koštana bolest karakterizirana smanjenjem koštane gustoće i padom čvrstoće kostiju, što je posljedica oštećenja mikroarhitekture kostiju. Kao rezultat, povećava se sklonost frakturama krhkosti kralježaka, zgloba, kuka i drugih koštanih elemenata, a lomovi uzrokovani krhkosti kostiju neizbježno povećavaju morbiditet i smrtnost među starijom populacijom. Depresija je još jedna kronična bolest s visokom prevalencijom, koju karakteriziraju promjene raspoloženja, kognitivnog funkcioniranja, spavanja, apetita i razine energije, što znatno utječe na kvalitetu života. Općenito, depresivni poremećaji izraženi su tugom koja ometa svakodnevnu funkciju, a često ih prati smanjeni interes ili zadovoljstvo za dotadašnje važne aktivnosti. Depresija se često javlja kod osoba koje boluju od kroničnih tjelesnih bolesti, a zbog preklapanja simptoma i nejasne etiologije često ostane neprepoznata, a time i neliječena. Cilj istraživanja bio je prikazati smanjenu pojavnost depresivnih simptoma kod žena oboljelih od osteoporoze uključenih u program vježbanja. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 30 ispitanica s dijagnozom osteoporoze, a prosjek njihovih godina bio je 62,86 godina. Metoda ispitivanja pojavnosti simptoma i određivanja kvalitete mentalnog zdravlja bila je putem anketnog upitnika. Na temelju dobivenih rezultata, zaključeno je kako žene oboljele od osteoporoze koje su uključene u program vježbanja manje podliježu depresivnim stanjima te doživljavaju normalne promjene raspoloženja. |
| Abstract (english) | Osteoporosis is a chronic, systemic bone disease characterized by a decrease in bone density and a decrease in bone strength as a result of damage to the bone microarchitecture. As a result, the susceptibility to fractures of the spine, hip joint and other bone elements increases, and fractures caused by bone fragility inevitably increase morbidity and mortality among the elderly population. Depression is another chronic disease with a high prevalence, characterized by changes in mood, cognitive functioning, sleep, appetite and energy levels, which significantly affect the quality of life. In general, depressive disorders are expressed by sadness that interferes with daily function, and are often accompanied by reduced interest or satisfaction in previously important activities. Depression often occurs in people suffering from chronic physical illnesses, and due to the overlap of symptoms and unclear etiology, it often remains unrecognized and thus untreated. The aim of the study was to show a reduced incidence of depressive symptoms in women with osteoporosis included in the exercise program. The study involved 30 women with a diagnosed osteoporosis, with an average age of 62.86 years. The method of examining the occurrence of symptoms and determining the quality of mental health was through a survey questionnaire. Based on the results obtained, women with osteoporosis who are included in the exercise program are less prone to depressive states and experience normal mood swings. |
