Because we aren\u2019t exactly knowledgeable about this stage of life we will all experience, we celebrate World Menopause Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>World Menopause Day is held every year on the 18th October. The purpose of the day is to raise awareness of the menopause and the support options available for improving health and wellbeing. The theme for World <a href=\"http:\/\/www.menopause.org.au\/health-info\/world-menopause-day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Menopause Day 2021<\/a> is bone health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Osteoporosis and associated fractures present a major challenge in improving global health outcomes. Key clinical aspects are the definition of osteoporosis and associated fractures, fracture risk prediction, stratification of risk of fracture, intervention thresholds and the most appropriate intervention based on integration of aforementioned. Correct understanding and application of these concepts are essential to stem the increasing tide of fragility fractures associated with an aging population. The role of muscle strength and function, sarcopenia, and the newly emerging concept of osteosarcopenia in maintaining bone health are discussed in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Board of the International Menopause Society (IMS) has decided to focus on bone health for World Menopause Day 2021. Osteoporosis and associated fractures are the most common chronic metabolic bone disease and represent a major global health problem, contributing to 8.9 million fractures worldwide on an annual basis. Worldwide, there are marked variations in the rates of hip fracture and major osteoporotic fractures. Fractures associated with osteoporosis cause not only increased morbidity but also an increased mortality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you would like more information about menopause, contact Dr. Gordon C.
