With Memi Tsekoura, president of the “Petalouda” Skeletal Health Association, we discuss the importance of timely information and caring for our bones at every age, on the occasion of the 19th “Health in Focus” Conference. Tsekoura stresses that building strong bones begins in childhood, through exercise and proper nutrition. She also highlights the impact of menopause on bone health and the importance of screening to detect problems early.
In the second part of the program, we speak with endocrinologist Georgios Trovas about modern tools for diagnosing osteoporosis, the importance of bone density testing, and the close connection between bone and muscle health. We also discuss muscle pain and how these issues affect mobility and, ultimately, quality of life.
A conversation about prevention, advances in science, and new possibilities for diagnosing and treating osteoporosis—but above all, about our right to grow older with strength, mobility, independence, and a good quality of life.
