Osteoporosis is a chronic disease characterized by alterations of the bone structure with consequent reduction of resistance to mechanical load and an increased risk of fractures.
It is estimated that in Italy 1 out of 3 women over 50 (about 5 million people) and 1 out of 8 men over 60 (about 1 million people) are affected by this pathology.
Osteoporosis can be prevented through adequate consumption of foods with a high calcium content and, to ensure their absorption, maintain normal levels of vitamin D. Exercise is another important step in preventing the disease.
The talk “15 minutes with…” is edited by Aou Cagliari News, the newspaper of the university hospital. Agile and simple format, it includes 15 minutes of question and answer with the specialists and the possibility for the public to ask questions live.
