KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 18 (Bernama) — Bone Health Alliance Malaysia (BHAM) unveiled today the results of a bone health and osteoporosis survey assessing the awareness, knowledge, and lifestyle habits among Malaysians. The survey aims to raise awareness about bone health; counter the misconception that osteoporosis is part of a natural ageing process which is untreatable and unpreventable; as well as educate Malaysians on keeping their bones healthy.
Based on the survey findings, BHAM is also embarking on the ‘Love Your Bones’ virtual campaign to raise public interest in osteoporosis and increase its recognition as a health priority. The virtual campaign launched in conjunction with World Osteoporosis Day (WOD) on 20 October aims to address the gaps and misconception of bone health knowledge among the high-risk group and their caregivers, while highlighting the importance of a proactive healthy lifestyle to prevent osteoporosis.
