HRT QUESTION: WHEN SHOULD PREVENTION OF OSTEOPOROSIS START?
Osteoporosis prevention should start in childhood, and there are a number of things that can be done to build stronger bones. These include encouraging children (boys as well as girls) to eat foods rich in calcium such as milk, cheese, yoghurt and fish with bones, and to take regular exercise. Sadly, many older women now suffering from osteoporosis were brought up at a time when there was little emphasis on a well-balanced diet and regular weight-bearing exercise. Many took as gospel the misguided words of the Duchess of Windsor, 'You can never be too thin or too rich'.
More than 50 per cent of Australian women (and 30 per cent of Australian men) consume less than the recommended dietary intake of calcium. For teenagers it's no better, with nearly a third of fifteen-year-old girls getting less than half the calcium they need, according to a national dietary survey of Australian schoolchildren aged from ten to fifteen years.
