With this year’s tagline of ‘Build Better Bones’, IOF will highlight the importance of a bone-healthy lifestyle as the foundation for strong bones and a mobile, fracture-free future. New posters and related resources and communications will urge the public and patients to build better bones by ensuring:
– Regular weight-bearing & muscle-strengthening exercise
– A nutritious bone-healthy diet and adequate vitamin D
– No smoking and avoiding excessive alcohol intake
– Early awareness of risk factors – and if at risk, seek testing and treatment if appropriate
