Recently, Professor Sheng Hui, deputy chief physician and doctoral supervisor of the Department of Endocrinology of our hospital, was invited to be a guest of Shanghai Radio’s “Live to 100” program to give an interview on the topic of “osteoporosis prevention and treatment”, which is both familiar and unfamiliar to the public. ”In terms of the nature of the pathology, osteoporosis is a common endocrine disease.” At the beginning of the program, Professor Sheng Hui pointed out the misunderstanding of the public. Osteoporosis has a high incidence, insidious and atypical symptoms and great long-term harm, and is a hidden risk factor for the health and even life of middle-aged and elderly people. According to statistics, the prevalence of osteoporosis is as high as 30% in people over 60 years old; and as the main hazard of osteoporosis, once hip fracture occurs, the mortality rate of patients within one year is as high as 20%, and the remaining 50% will be left with lifelong disability, which is even more harmful than tumors. It is no exaggeration to say that osteoporosis can be fatal, never just trigger back pain so simple. Professor Sheng Hui, who works in the field of osteoporosis, gives the prevention strategy for osteoporosis – from a young age, we should pay attention to taking sufficient calcium and vitamin D, and also take part in outdoor physical exercise, so that we can reach a higher peak bone mass before the age of 30. Older adults should reduce bone loss through a variety of measures. First, women over the age of 50 and men over the age of 60 should have their bone density measured. Second, it is important to receive a standardized diagnosis at an endocrine-specific clinic for three purposes – 1. to clarify whether they have osteoporosis; 2. whether it is primary or secondary; and 3. whether it is a high- or low-conversion type. Again, the treatment of osteoporosis is a comprehensive intervention process, and not just taking calcium tablets can solve the problem. In addition to calcium and vitamin D supplementation, patients need to receive health education on fall prevention, medication to curb osteoclast activity, and impedance training.
