Prof. Dr. Sanjay Kumar Bhadada, Head Department of Endocrinology, PGIMER, addressed the gathering. The program was attended by women from various age groups. The event aimed to raise awareness about osteoporosis, a silent yet highly prevalent condition that significantly increases the risk of fractures, disability, and loss of independence among ageing women.
The program ended with information about an ongoing study at PGIMER, aimed to look at the peri-menopausal bone health of women, with women volunteers coming forward showing interest to be a part of the same.
