Bone Mineral Density Camp was conducted by Rotary CThe patients were checked for their bone mineral density (BMD). A BMD test measures your bone mineral density and compares it to that of an established norm or standard to give you a score. The score that you receive from your bone density (BMD or DXA) test is called as T-Score and is measured as a standard deviation from the mean. The score greater than (-1) indicate that your BMD result is Normal. The score in the range (-1 to -2.5) indicate low bone density which is termed as Osteopenia, An early stage to Osteoporosis. The score lesser than (-2.5) indicate Osteoporosis (porous bones that can lead to easy fractures) Rtn. Dr. Swati Likhite gave an awareness talk on What is Osteoporosis? What are the causes? What is the diet and nutrition that should be followed if osteoporosis is detected as well as to avoid further deterioration of the bone density? A total of 600 patients attended the camp and were satisfied with the consultation & thanked the efforts of our club for creating awareness about Osteoporosis and what care should be taken. We plan to continue to organize such camp every 3 months.Rotary club of Panvel Elite on account of Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness day.
