Fractures are a leading cause for hospital admissions in Ireland, with about 25K per year. We were pleased to support GP education in this area with a Medcafe.ie webinar on 'Latest Insights in Osteoporosis and Fracture Risk'. Consultant Physician and Geriatrician, Prof Frances Dockery from Beaumont Hospital updated GPs on fracture statistics, prevention strategies and osteoporosis management. Ireland’s proportion of 75-84 yr olds has increased by 28% in the latest census so healthy ageing has never been so important. Peak bone mass is achieved by age 30, making #bonehealth an important consideration at all ages, particularly the teenage years. Dairy provides calcium, protein and phosphorus, nutrients which are needed for the maintenance of normal bones. Prof Dockery highlighted a large intervention study in Australian care homes which showed the value of dairy intake for this elderly cohort. Department of Health - Ireland guidelines recommend 3 servings from the ‘Milk, yogurt and cheese’ food group each day and 3-4 for those aged 65+ years, and 5 for those aged 9-18 years. #Osteoporosis #FractureRisk #IrishDairy #FromTheGroundUp

This common medication could save half a million children's lives each year. So why is it underprescribed? . Health care providers in developing countries know that oral rehydration salts (ORS) are a lifesaving and inexpensive treatment for diarrheal disease, a leading cause of death for children worldwide -- yet few prescribe it. A new study suggests that closing the knowledge gap between what treatments health care providers think patients want and what treatments patients really want could help save half a million lives a year and reduce unnecessary use of antibiotics. #ScienceDailynews #InnovativeResearch #NextGenScience #ExploringFrontiers

"Health-related QoL in people with different diabetes-related foot ulcer (DFU) health states" This study aimed to estimate and compare the HRQoL using the EQ-5D-5L instrument in people with DFU in five different DFU health states: healed, non-infected, infected, hospitalised and amputated. This might sounds a bit too clinically specific to many readers in my not so wide network - but what is important is that, as far as the authors are aware, this is the first study to compare the HRQoL of people with DFU in five important DFU health states and the first to use the EQ-5D-5L instrument. The findings of this study confirm that those with any DFU health state have considerably reduced HRQoL. What the findings also do is enable the calculation of QALY in future economic evaluations. https://lnkd.in/guQefRDi

The diabetes crisis in San Antonio's Latino communities, reported by The New York Times, underscores the critical need for a holistic approach to health. Communities need to have access to affordable quality health care and it’s also critical that we shift the health system to address foundational non-medical drivers of health – including nutrition – that play a huge role in preventing chronic illnesses, including #diabetes. To build a healthier future for all Texans, we must improve access to medical care while at the same time work to target non-medical drivers of health. This approach fosters #HealthNotJustHealthCare and promotes equity for communities. #SDOH #NMDOH #diabetesprevention https://lnkd.in/gf8xUmsm

Our healthcare system needs an overhaul to better manage people living with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Aligning with RACP recommendations, the Diabetes Inquiry has now recommended that the Australian Government expands access to bariatric surgeries, pharmacotherapies, glucose monitoring, multidisciplinary ambulatory care, and MBS-funded multidisciplinary coordinated care for people with obesity and diabetes. Australia was ranked 10th out of 21 OECD countries for the proportion of people aged 15 and over who were living with obesity or being overweight in 2022. “The implementation of these recommendations will be transformative for people living with diabetes and obesity” says RACP President, Professor Jennifer Martin. These recommendations must be adopted to help the many Australians living with obesity and diabetes.
