Global experts gathered in Ulaanbaatar for the international conference on Bone and Muscle Health. Moreover, the event aimed to address rising osteoporosis and bone fracture rates in Mongolia. Organizers highlighted that research, diagnosis, and treatment options remain limited.
Therefore, the conference created a platform to introduce innovative practices. Additionally, it encouraged collaboration among researchers, health professionals, and policymakers. Participants shared strategies to prevent fractures, improve nutrition, and support physical activity.
Representatives from global health organizations attended, bringing extensive expertise. In particular, they joined local scholars to discuss urgent challenges in musculoskeletal health. Sessions focused on dairy consumption, bone strength, diabetes-related fracture risks, and sarcopenia.
Experts also examined fracture risk assessment tools and new therapies for bone healing. Consequently, discussions emphasized preventive measures to reduce falls and injuries. Furthermore, the conference showed how nutrition, movement, and education improve bone strength.
Ph.D. Amarsaihan Dashtseren stressed that Mongolians often confuse bone fractures with bone fragility. He added that data on osteoporosis remain scarce in the country. “We must study fracture causes and learn from global experiences,” he said.
Associate Professor Bilegtsaikhan Tsolmon explained that bone and muscle health is a major non-communicable concern. Moreover, she praised the conference for promoting evidence-based decisions and international collaboration.
G. Peljidmaa, a sponsor representative, encouraged daily milk consumption to prevent osteoporosis and muscle loss. He noted that Mongolians consume far less dairy than recommended. Therefore, the company’s campaign supports strong bones and muscles through proper nutrition.
The conference highlighted Mongolia’s growing role in global research. As a result, experts expect initiatives to strengthen preventive measures and public awareness. By combining international knowledge with local practices, the event aims to improve Bone and Muscle Health nationwide.
Ultimately, organizers hope collaboration will create a healthier future. Strong bones and muscles, they emphasized, are essential for active, healthy lives.
