Osteoporose e calvície?

Parece que sim...
https://www.dn.pt/sociedade/interior/tratamento-para-a-osteoporose-pode-curar-calvicie-9322201.html

Citando:
"Um medicamento utilizado para o tratamento da osteoporose poderá curar a calvície, de acordo com um estudo liderado por um investigador da Universidade de Manchester, Nathan Hawkshaw.

Os cientistas descobriram que a Ciclosporina A, usada normalmalmente como imunosupressor, estimula o crescimento dos folículos pilosos, em laboratório. Em seguida, tentaram identificar os mecanismos moleculares deste medicamento, usado desde os anos 80 do século passado.

O medicamento reduz a expressão de uma proteína (SFRP1) que inibe o crescimento e desenvolvimento de muitos tecidos, incluindo do cabelo, e portanto atua positivamente no crescimento do cabelo e pode "fazer diferença nas pessoas que sofrem com a queda de cabelo", disse Hawkshaw.

Atualmente existem apenas dois medicamentos aprovador pela FDA (Agência Federal nortre-americana que aprova medicamentos) para tratar a calvície (alopecia androgenética), mas ambos têm efeitos colaterais e nem sempre são muito eficazes, por isso os pacientes geralmente recorrem à cirurgia de transplante capilar, segundo um comunicado da Universidade de Manchester."

"Dairy-based items like yogurt, milk and cheese are typically the easiest way for children and young adults to get their recommended amounts of calcium and Vitamin D. These vital nutrients help with bone growth and tooth health. The nutrients in dairy also help with cholesterol and blood pressure in adulthood.

Adolescents in the U.S., defined as age 9 to 18, should get approximately 1,300 milligrams of calcium per day, according to the National Institute of Health. The recommended goal is about three servings of dairy daily.

There are plenty of perfectly sound reasons for giving up dairy products, as a lifestyle choice or for physical health. It just means you’ll have to be mindful of incorporating other calcium-rich foods into your diet, such as broccoli and kale or fortified options like tofu and cereal.

Another striking finding from the survey? How young people are making dietary choices. Those under the age of 25 were the most likely to follow health and fitness bloggers on social media, suggesting they may get their nutrition information from these sources."

Dietas limpas podem levar a osteoporoses?

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/clean-eating-trend-broken-bones-norm-future-experts-warn-national-osteoporosis-society-dairy-gluten-a7680041.html

Citando:
"Four in ten people aged between 18 and 24 have tried a ‘clean eating’ diet, according to an NOS survey of 2,000 adults.

The regimes usually involve avoiding processed foods and eating raw, unrefined produce, and often prohibit eating dairy, gluten and sugar.

More than a fifth of those in the same age group said they had significantly dropped their intake of milk and cheese.

But Vegan groups have said cutting out dairy does not necessarily pose a health risk, because essential nutrients such as calcium “can be easily obtained on a vegan diet”.

Susan Lanham-New, a nutrition professor and clinical advisor to the NOS, said young adults needed to make sure they were receiving nutrients from all major food groups.

“Diet in early adulthood is so important because by the time we get into our late twenties it is too late to reverse the damage caused by poor diet and nutrient deficiencies and the opportunity to build strong bones has passed,” she said.""
