Osteoporosis Prevention and Bone Health

I had the opportunity to contribute to an article on osteoporosis prevention and bone health, in the magazine Health No.1 《健康No.1》.

To optimize bone health and prevent osteoporosis, it is important to invest early, with the right lifestyle, adequate weight bearing exercise and calcium rich diet. In postmenopausal women, and men above age 50, it would be prudent to have a conversation with your doctor to have a bone health check-up which would include risk assessment and bone mineral density measurement. Appropriate supplements like vitamin D may be required in individual cases.
