🦴 World Osteoporosis Day
This October 20th, we join the global call to action: “It’s Unacceptable!” Osteoporosis affects over 500 million people worldwide, yet up to 80% of those who experience a fragility fracture receive no follow-up care. This neglect leads to chronic pain, disability, and a diminished quality of life.
1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over 50 will suffer an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime.
What You Can Do:
• Get Tested: Speak with your GP about bone density testing.
• Stay Active: Engage in weight-bearing exercises to strengthen bones.
• Eat Well: Ensure a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D.
• Avoid Risks: Limit smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
Your GP Can Help:
If you're at risk or have experienced a fracture, your GP can assess your bone health and discuss prevention strategies.
