STUDY OF DHATU SARATA AND ITS ASSOCIATION WITH OSTEOPOROSIS IN POST-MENOPAUSAL WOMEN
Abstract
Sarata is a factor which tells the strength of all dhatus. Due to variations in seasons, lifestyle, diet etc., dhatu poshan does
not take place leading to various health hazards. This lifestyle change modies sarata of every dhatu. With the changing
diet and lifestyle patterns, bone diseases like osteopenia, osteoporosis etc. have evolved into a common health problem especially in postmenopausal
women throughout the world. In osteoporosis, there is increased bone re-sorption and decreased bone formation. Post-menopausal
women are more susceptible to osteoporosis because of low estrogen level or surgical removal of both the ovaries. BMD tests helps in the
detection of osteoporosis which is measured by bone densitometer. BMD test helps in the detection of osteoporosis which is measured by bone
densitometer. The pilot study of 50 subjects was done as per inclusive criteria. After performing densitometry, dhatu sarata examination was done
with the help of standard sarata examination Performa prepared by C-DAC (center for development of advance computing) Pune. Graphical
representation shows that there is signicant relation between asthi sarata and osteoporosis. The percentage of asthi dhatu sarata lakshanas are
very less in the subjects having osteoporosis. Hence, this study will be helpful in reducing the fracture risk in post-menopausal women by early
evaluation and preventive measures.

Bone Mineral Density, a measure of bone density, reflecting the strength of bones. The BMD test detects osteopenia (mild bone loss, usually without symptoms) and osteoporosis (more severe bone loss, which may cause symptoms). Ayurvedic concept Dhatu Sarata (Tissue excellence) determine the strength of person. According to Ayurved Asthi(bone) sara person possess good quality of Asthi dhatu (BoneTissue) and is assess by Asthidhatu sarata examination,50 healthy male students between the age of 25 to 30 years were selected for this study, BMD (Bone Mineral Density) Bone mineral density was-measured with the help of Bone densitometer. After performing bone densitometry the Dhatu sarata (tissue excellence) examination was done with the help of standard sarata examination proforma prepared by C-DAC (Centre for Development of Advance Computing) Pune. Statistical analysis shows that co-relation value of Asthi sarata(bone excellence)is very much significant with Asthisarata than other Dhatu (tissue) sarata.
Sara is explained in context of 'Dashvidha Pariksha' in Charak Samhita to measure the strength (Bala) of an individual. Haematological parameters are most frequently used in routine investigations. It is obvious that both Sara and haematological parameters are used in ancient and modern science therefore, this study was planned to assess the variation in haematological parameters of different Sara individuals as per sex. Total 254 (156 males and 98 females) healthy individuals between the age of 18 to 35 were included in this study. Assessment of Sara was done in terms of total Sara score by questionnaire type proforma specially designed for this study. Haematological values provide important information about health status of a person like anaemia, polycythemia, any type of infection and others. Haematological parameters were analysed by automatic haematology analyzer. On correlation of the total Sara score and haematological values in male and female, significant variation in total Sara score as well as in haematological values was observed.
Ashta Sarata parikshana is explained especially to determine the strength of person. It is important to add modern parameter to give authenticity to the ancient subjective parameter. 50 healthy male students between the ages of 18-25 years were selected for study. Sarata parikshan was done with the help of standard sarata parikshan proforma specially prepared by AYUSOFT C-DAC Centre for Development of Advance Computing Pune, India to find out percentage of each dhatu separately. Blood indices have been formulated by modern science to detect type of anaemia by extracting information about structure, morphology of Red Blood Cells and about haemoglobin. Blood indices give complete information of Red Blood Cells. Blood sample were collected for analysis of blood indices and this was done by auto analyser. This was survey type co relational research. The statistical analysis shows that "there is a relation between Rakta sarata and Blood indices", it's a positive relation. The person having higher percentage of Rakta sarata possesses good value of Blood indices.
