According to statistics, every three seconds, 1 person in the world is fractured due to osteoporosis. In order to arouse people's attention to osteoporosis, Taipei Veterans General Hospital and Rheumatology Foundation Taiwan Province Anti-Rheumatism Alliance jointly organized the "Osteoporosis Health Education Week", which was held in the lobby of Taipei Veterans General Hospital 1 1 on the first floor from August 7 to June 30, providing free lectures on bone mineral density detection and osteoporosis prevention health education.
One year after the fracture, 25% patients died.
Chen Weiming, vice president of Taipei Veterans General Hospital and attending physician of orthopedics, said that osteoporosis is silent, and people's bones will gradually lose with age. Among the ethnic groups over 50 years old in China, female osteoporosis is 1 and male osteoporosis is 1. There are many complications after fracture, and as many as 25% patients die one year after fracture.
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis have a high risk of osteoporosis.
Cai Changyou, director of the Department of Allergy, Immunology and Rheumatology, Taipei Veterans General Medical Department, reminded that patients with rheumatoid arthritis have a higher probability of suffering from osteoporosis if their condition recurs; Clinical research shows that the risk of osteoporosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis is 2.3 times that of the general population, and patients are advised to take medicine according to the doctor's advice.
The first step to prevent osteoporosis is to detect bone mineral density.
Vice President Chen Weiming emphasized that understanding bone mineral density is the first step to prevent osteoporosis. If the preliminary screening result is high risk, it can be referred to a specialist for treatment. He suggested that people should take more calcium and vitamin D supplements, get proper sunshine, do bone health care as soon as possible, stay away from osteoporosis and avoid the risk of fracture.
