One in two women and up to one in four men will break a bone during their life due to osteoporosis. Dr. Joy Tsai will review the epidemiology of osteoporosis in the U.S. as well as the latest treatment strategies for this disease. Osteoporosis care encompasses both pharmacologic and non-drug therapy. She will review the broad categories of types of prescription drugs as well as lifestyle interventions that patients can carry out every day.
Dr. Joy Tsai is an endocrinologist at Massachusetts General Hospital. She is the Medical Co-Director of the MGH Endocrine Associates clinic and the Associate Director of the MGH Bone Density Center. At Harvard Medical School, she is an Assistant Professor of Medicine.
