• Osteoporosis is characterised by a reduction of bone mass.

 • Fracture is common in osteoporosis that produces sudden pain. Common sites of fractures include spine, hip and wrist joints. Vertebral fractures can occur without any pain also.

Precautions-

• Diet should include at least 1 g of calcium and 800-1000 IU of vitamin D daily. Additional supplementation may be done, if required to maintain bone and muscle strength.

• Ensure adequate weightbearing exercises.

• Smoking and alcohol should be stopped.

• Reduce falls by taking care of home safety and personal precautions.

• If steroids are required for chronic use, add calcium, vitamin D and bisphosphonates. 

The event concluded with a bycycle rally led by Dr. Anand to spread awareness to prevent osteoporosis.
