Osteoporosis and Osteopenia

As humans are living longer, the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis are increasing, affecting predominantly women but also increasing in men. Osteoporosis is associated with an increase in fracture risk with minimal trauma and can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The ideal aim is to prevent osteoporosis (and its earlier stage of osteopenia) and fracture. This webinar presentation discusses what osteoporosis and osteopenia are, provides an outline of preventive strategies and gives an overview of common management/treatment approaches.
Our presenter, Dr Sonia Davison, is an Endocrinologist with a special interest in Women’s Health. She is a Clinical Fellow at Jean Hailes for Women’s Health and has an adjunct appointment at the Women’s Health Research Program, Monash University, Victoria, Australia. Sonia is in private practice at the Melbourne Endocrine Clinic, Malvern, and at Jean Hailes for Women’s Health.

But do you ever actually cure people.

I normally dont want to use the LIE word. However, THE BIGGEST LIE told around the world is that low estrogens is the main reason women get bone loss leading to osteoporosis &/or osteopenia. Adding estrogens [ primarilly estradiol] only slows down bone loss...which helps delay the inevitable osteoporisis and or serious bone fracture. The key to preventing and reversing bone loss is to test and treat for low progesterone, low vitamin D3 and low testosterone for both men and women. Some estradiol for women can be helpful but usually for other menapausal symptoms.
