Synopsis: Every first and third Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times helps you make sense of health matters that affect you. Bone health is often not the first thing on a person’s mind when it comes to health. However, it is important to prevent weakened bones, particularly in old age, so that we can continue with our everyday activities. As we age, more bone is broken down than is replaced by new bone, and losing too much bone mass can lead to osteoporosis, a disease that causes brittle bones. When your bones are weak, a simple fall can lead to a serious fracture, which will affect quality of life.  In this episode, ST senior health correspondent Joyce Teo hosts Dr Tan Li Feng, the deputy head of geriatric medicine at Alexandra Hospital, about the importance of screening for osteoporosis. They discuss her paper on the impact of frailty, falls and cognition on osteoporosis management in the oldest old, the treatment options for osteoporosis, as well as the foods that are good for your bones.  *Bone density mineral scans are available at various places, including some polyclinics. To do the scan at the polyclinic, a referral is needed. At Alexandra Hospital, for instance, this scan costs $50-$70 for subsidised patients or $150 for private patients, Dr Tan said.  Highlights (click/tap above): 1:18 How do age, frailty, and cognitive impairment link to the management of osteoporosis? 2:19 When should you get your bones screened and treated? 6:48 What can you do to prevent osteoporosis? 9:56 Treatment options for osteoporosis 12:29 Diet tips to prevent osteoporosis; vitamin D & calcium supplements recommended?
