The Silent Epidemic of Osteoporosis: Understanding Risk and Resilience
Why is it important?
The escalating longevity of the Australian population is inadvertently fuelling a silent epidemic: osteoporosis and osteopenia. While over 1.3 million Australians are currently diagnosed, representing nearly 4% of the population, the true scale is far greater—a staggering 66% of individuals aged 50 and over are currently living with undiagnosed or unmanaged osteoporosis and osteopenia.
This condition is more than just thinning bones; it is a profound public health crisis defined by falls and fractures, the true consequence of this preventable disease.
As Greg Lyubomirsky, CEO of Healthy Bones Australia, states, “Osteoporosis is a serious disease, which can lead to fractures that impact patients, their families and the healthcare system.” With over 175,000 fractures occurring each year in Australia, we urgently need to shift our focus from treating injury to proactive diagnosis and robust management.
Join this essential webinar to move beyond awareness and gain actionable, comprehensive insights into protecting your bone health, future mobility, and quality of life. We will delve into the root causes, diagnostic advances, and the synergy between conventional and natural strategies for building bone resilience.
