The event will be held in conjunction with the UN International Day of Older Persons, themed “Aging with Dignity: The Importance of Strengthening Care and Support Systems for Older Persons Worldwide.” The webinar will highlight: cutting-edge public health strategies for combatting osteoporosis; proactive measures to prevent and treat the disease; and will share best practices from countries that have successfully implemented National Fracture Registries.
Say no to fragile bones! Be proactive on behalf of your bone health. At your next check-up, ask questions.
• Do I have risk factors for osteoporosis?
• Can you calculate my risk of suffering future fractures?
• Do I need a diagnostic scan?
• What should I do concerning calcium, vitamin D and my diet?
• What exercises should I be doing?
• What other lifestyle changes can I make to improve my bone health?
• Do I need specific therapy to treat osteoporosis?
