For the upper half = N+1/2 . And
For the lower half N-1/2.
 Number of byes in upper half = Nb-1/2. and number of byes in lower half= Nb+1/2

35. What is the cause of osteoporosis in women?

ANS: Osteoporosis refers to decreased bone mineral density. It is a skeletal disorder. A
reduction in bone mass may cause fracture. Low estrogen levels and poor nutrition,
especially low calcium intake can lead to osteoporosis; It is one of the significant triad of
female athlete. Healthy athletes tend to have higher bone mineral density than their non-
athletic counterparts as physical and weight bearing exercises have beneficial effects on
bone density in women.
Insufficient Calcium in the Diet: The main cause of osteoporosis is the insufficient intake of
calcium in the diet. In fact, 100 mg calcium should be included in daily diet by a woman
athlete. In addition to calcium, vitamin D should also be included because it is essential for
absorbing calcium in our body.
Amenorrhea: Women suffering from menstrual dysfunction or amenorrhea for more than six
months are likely to face osteoporosis because the secretion of the hormone called 'estrogen'
is decreased in this condition. This hormone is necessary for the absorption of calcium in
our body. If calcium is not absorbed in our body there will be less amount of calcium in
our body which may lead to osteoporosis.
Eating Disorders: Eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia may also cause osteoporosis
because the calcium intake may be less or insufficient. In fact, not getting sufficient amount of
calcium can also have a lasting effect on how strong a woman's bones are in the later part of
life. So, eating disorders may also lead to osteoporosis among women athletes.
