Bone health is a long-term investment. Taking care of it today can help prevent complications later in life.
Dr Alvin Tan was recently on air with Violet Fenying 陈粉樱, where he spoke about bone health and common fractures in the elderly.
During the segment, he shared the different types of fractures and how to spot possible symptoms. He also highlighted how serious these injuries can be, especially for older individuals.
He reminded listeners that bone health is something we should all pay attention to, not just later in life. Building strong bones early can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis and future fractures.
