Osteoporosis: A Perspective for 2024
May 16, 2024
Virtual via Zoom

Activity Coordinator:
Erin South (Erin.South@fda.hhs.gov)
Description

Strong bones are essential to health and quality of life. Osteoporosis and fragility fractures are common and can be debilitating but there are steps we can take to help reduce the risk. Because osteoporosis is asymptomatic until the first clinical fracture, many women do not realize they are at risk. This lecture will summarize the current approach to assessing bone health, as well as preventing and treating osteoporosis with a focus on postmenopausal women.
