Osteoporosis is fast emerging as a major health problem in India.  According to an estimate taken in 2003, there were nearly 25 million people with osteoporosis in India.  There is therefore, an urgent need to generate awareness and promote bone healthy life style among our citizens to curb this menace.

To that end and on the initiative of Indian Society for Bone

and Mineral Research (ISBMR) this book has been authored by Dr. Rajesh Malhotra, Professor of Orthopaedics at AIIMS, and convener Orthopedic Initiative of ISBMR, with inputs from Dr. Namita Agarwal, Director Fitness Fusion, Delhi, and Brig. Satish Kukreja (Retd.), Hony CEO, ISBMR.

The book elaborates on bone friendly exercises which improve and maintain the bone mass.
The book is easy to read and carry around.  Its unique features are:-

  • Individuals are divided into various groups and exercises prescribed accordingly as per their bone health.
  • Contains useful exercises which can be undertaken while performing household chores. 
  • Contains a chapter on fall prevention and balance, listing simple tests to check one’s balance and how to improve it.  Fall prevention remains a major intervention for osteoporosis as the falls often result in fractures which lead to prolonged confinement and even death.

The book was released on Tuesday, 16 June 2009 by Prof. R. C. Deka, Director, AIIMS,   at Jawaharlal Nehru Auditorium, in the presence of officials from AIIMS and officer bearers of ISBMR, besides others.
