【Facebook Live Health Talk: Fall and Osteoporosis Prevention】
Our Centre's Director, Professor Timothy Kwok, and Physician Dr. Dicky Choy were delighted to be invited as guest speakers for Big Silver's Facebook live health talks in July 2020. Topics related to fall prevention and osteoporosis prevention were discussed.
Information of the talks are as below:
Prof Timothy Kwok leads JOCOC to support HKOF & OSHK to publish a paper to illustrate 3 strategic recommendations on hip fractures prevention of older people.
Title: "Hip fractures are preventable: A proposal for osteoporosis screening and fall prevention in older people"
The paper discussed practical ways to reduce the burden of fractures and formulated three recommendations:
Preventing hip fractures in Hong Kong's older population
Hip fracture in older people is preventable. There is a strong case for active screening for osteoporosis and fall risk in older people. Together with public education for healthy lifestyle and fall prevention, exercise interventions and anti-osteoporosis drugs in at risk individuals, there is every hope that the rising incidence of hip fracture in Hong Kong and elsewhere can be controlled.
