Smoking can reduce the blood flow to the bones Chapter 1Paget's Disease of Bone Paget's disease is a widespread disease of bones often involving excessive bone resorption and replacement by coarse trabecular bone resulting in abnormal histological patterns and gross deformities. Paget's disease is a chronic disorder that can result in enlarged and misshapen bones. Paget's disease is caused by the excessive breakdown and formation of bone followed by disorganized bone remodeling. This causes affected bone to weaken resulting in pain, misshapen bones, fractures and arthritis in the joints near the affected bones. Often Paget's disease is localized to only a few bones in the body. The pelvis, femur and lower lumbar vertebrate are the most commonly affected bones. Paget's disease typically is localized affecting just one or a few bones as opposed to osteoporosis for example which usually affects all the bones in the body. Paget's disease occurs slightly more often in men than in women (3 to 2).Paget's disease is rare in people less than 55 years of age.
