They discussed pressing issues related to osteoporosis, fractures, musculoskeletal diseases, nutrition, and the role of physical activity.
Topics presented included ‘Milk and Dairy Products and Bone Health,’ ‘Diabetes and Its Correlation with Bone Fractures,’ ‘Active Movement and Sarcopenia,’ ‘Addressing the Treatment Gap in Osteoporosis,’ ‘Traditional Dairy Consumption and Its Relation to Osteoporosis,’ ‘FRAX-Based Assessment of Fracture Risk in Mongolians Aged 40 and Over,’ ‘Knowledge of Osteoporosis Among Diabetic Patients,’and‘Effects of Innovative Preparations on Bone Healing.’
The discussions are expected to help reduce risks of falls and fractures that affect thousands of citizens annually, strengthen preventive measures, and expand Mongolia’s participation in global research and treatment efforts.
Organized for the first time in Mongolia, the ‘Bone and Muscle Health 2025’ international scientific conference was sponsored by ‘Suu’ JSC, which has brought the issue of Mongolian musculoskeletal health to the attention of the international scientific community.
