At the free clinic activity site, medical workers provide free free clinic, free ultrasound bone mineral density screening, free blood pressure and blood sugar measurement, hold special health talks, distribute free publicity materials on osteoporosis prevention and treatment, and provide health consultation and medication guidance. According to experts, there are many factors that cause osteoporosis, including age, gender, family inheritance, menopause, malnutrition, imbalance of bone transformation, imbalance of calcium and phosphorus, insufficient intake of calcium and vitamin D, insufficient exercise, thin weight, smoking and alcoholism. Among them, there are three major factors that have a particularly significant impact on bone health. One is the insufficient intake of calcium and vitamin D in the diet, the other is the decrease of estrogen in postmenopausal women, and the third is the lack of physical exercise. Therefore, residents need to find out the real reason for their calcium deficiency, so as to treat the symptoms in a targeted manner and avoid blindly supplementing calcium.
Calcium supplementation is the basis of prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, but a balanced diet combined with scientific exercise is the effective way to fight osteoporosis. The publicity and education of osteoporosis should be further strengthened through free clinic activities, so that the whole society can realize the universality and harm of osteoporosis, so that the majority of osteoporosis patients can be found and diagnosed early, so as to get timely treatment and minimize the harm of osteoporosis to middle-aged and elderly people.
