Osteoporosis and sarcopenia are common concerns in later life and may occur together, increasing the risk of falls, fractures and loss of independence.
Dr TT Chan and Dr Edwin KH Lam, Orthopaedic Specialists and representatives of HKMSHF, discuss risk factors, common misconceptions, diagnosis and treatment.
They also explain the roles of calcium, vitamin D, protein and exercise in protecting bone and muscle health, and share practical advice on preventing falls and maintaining strength.
Growing older does not mean giving up strength - early action can make a difference.
