We’re delighted to invite you to the 15th Global Summit on Diabetes & Endocrine Disorders (2026) ️ July 22–23, 2026 | 📍 Tokyo, Japan & 💻 Virtual

Theme: "Transforming Diabetes Care: Integrating Research, Innovation, and Clinical Practice."

This year’s special focus is on Osteoporosis & Fracture Risk, highlighting the impact of hormonal imbalance, aging, diabetes, and metabolic disorders on bone health. Sessions will explore bone density loss, fracture prevention, risk assessment, and emerging therapies to improve skeletal strength and reduce fracture-related morbidity.

Join global experts, clinicians, and researchers to advance understanding of osteoporosis management and bone health across the lifespan.

Bone fractures are one of the most preventable causes of disability in the elderly. However, recent studies in the European Journal of Epidemiology have found that magnesium supplements can lower the risk of fractures in middle-aged and older individuals. The study, conducted by Dr. Setor Kunutsor, highlights the importance of magnesium in maintaining healthy bones.

Magnesium deficiency can lead to an imbalance in vitamin D and calcium, which are both important for healthy bones. Magnesium deficiency has been linked to osteoporosis, low bone density, and an increased risk of hip, spinal, and forearm fractures. Since millions of fractures occur every year in the United States, increasing magnesium intake can be an easy and effective way to promote healthy bones.

Can Belly Fat Cause Fractures? 🦴⚠️

Dr. Akshan Ugale Explains – Ugale Bariatrics, Hyderabad

Yes — belly fat can increase your risk of fractures. Visceral fat (fat around the abdomen) is not just a cosmetic concern; it produces inflammatory chemicals that can weaken bone density, reduce muscle strength, and impair balance — all of which raise the risk of falls and fractures.

This makes obesity, especially central obesity, a silent threat to your bone health. At Ugale Bariatrics, Dr. Akshan Ugale emphasizes a holistic approach to weight loss that not only targets fat loss but also strengthens bones and improves mobility.

Did you know magnesium could play an important role in the prevention of bone fractures, especially in middle-aged and older populations?

A recent study published in the European Journal of Epidemiology found that magnesium supplements may help regulate bone health, and may even reduce the risk of fractures. In the U.S. alone, nearly 6 million people fracture bones each year, largely in individuals aged 65+. That's a big deal.

Calcium and vitamin D have been the traditional nutrients associated with bone health for years. However, we are now finding that magnesium also plays an essential role in bone mineral density, as well as calcium absorption. Research has shown that magnesium deficiency may be a risk factor for developing osteoporosis, and additionally associated with poor vitamin D metabolism.

At Oran Park Medical Centre, the awareness of bone health is important for us and we want to work with you to ensure you’re maintaining it with education on diet, magnesium supplementation, and follow-up check-up appointments.
