Dr. Shreedhar Archik, Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon in Mumbai, attached to Lilavati Hospital, highlights the importance of bone health on World Osteoporosis Day, observed on 20 October. He encourages people to protect their bones through regular weight-bearing exercise, a calcium- and vitamin D-rich balanced diet, healthy lifestyle choices, and routine check-ups. As osteoporosis can develop silently and increase the risk of fractures, early assessment and timely care are essential for maintaining bone strength, mobility, and independence at every age.
