WORLD OSTEOPOROSIS DAY

Every year on October 20, the world observes World Osteoporosis Day. This day is marked by a number of awareness-raising programs and events that aim to raise awareness of osteoporosis, its treatment, and healthy bone prevention strategies.

World Osteoporosis Day's theme for 2023 is "Build Better Bones," emphasizing the importance of living a bone-healthy lifestyle.

On October 20, 1996, the National Osteoporosis Society of the United Kingdom observed the first World Osteoporosis Day, with assistance from the European Commission. Afterwards, World Osteoporosis Day (WOD) was established in 1997 by the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF)

As people age, osteoporosis is more likely to occur. It is among the most frequent reasons why older people fracture. Given that this bone condition is asymptomatic, maintaining bone health is crucial to avoiding consequences from bone fractures.

Ensure daily practice of the movement of bone and muscles

Eat foods rich in bone health nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D and protein rich food.

In case of any doubt or risk factors, don't hesitate to get second opinion from the doctor and get early diagnosis and treatment.
