DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Women's Health Research Group, University of Maryland, Baltimore, in partnership with the University of Maryland Center for Research on Aging, the Center for Preventive Health Services of the Maryland Department of Health & Mental Hygiene, the Maryland Osteoporosis Prevention and Education Task Force, and the Baltimore and Washington, DC Bone Clubs, is holding its Eleventh Annual Interdisciplinary Women's Health Research Symposium on Bone Health and Osteoporosis on October 7, 2005 in Baltimore, Maryland. The decision to hold a research symposium on this topic is largely driven by the Surgeon General's report on Bone Health and Osteoporosis published in 2004 that voices concern that there is still a lack of awareness among the public and health care professionals about the impact of osteoporosis and related bone diseases, and how they can be prevented and treated throughout the lifespan. We have planned a day-long symposium that will: 1) provide an update on the current state of knowledge on osteoporosis and bone disease in diverse populations and at different times in life; 2) identify evidence-based strategies for promoting bone health across the life span; 3) provide an overview of current federal and local policy perspectives on bone health; and, 4) highlight possibilities for future interdisciplinary research on bone disease and encourage young investigators to consider research projects in this important area. A group of nationally-known experts on bone disease and osteoporosis have been invited to present current knowledge and research on bone biology and epidemiology; prevention strategies; screening, diagnosis, and treatment of osteoporosis across the life span; secondary causes of osteoporosis; bone disease in special populations; local health department initiatives; and a Call-to-Action that will summarize strategies for health systems to improve bone health The program format includes individual presentations, a panel discussion, and informal special interest sessions. The target audience is scientists, clinicians and health care professionals, students and fellows, policy makers and local health department and area agency on aging staff from the Baltimore/Washington, DC area.

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Women's Health Research Group, University of Maryland, Baltimore, in partnership with the University of Maryland Center for Research on Aging, the Center for Preventive Health Services of the Maryland Department of Health & Mental Hygiene, the Maryland Osteoporosis Prevention and Education Task Force, and the Baltimore and Washington, DC Bone Clubs, is holding its Eleventh Annual Interdisciplinary Women's Health Research Symposium on Bone Health and骨质疏松症于2005年10月7日在马里兰州巴尔的摩。关于该主题的研究研讨会的决定在很大程度上是由2004年出版的外科医生关于骨骼健康和骨质疏松症的报告所驱动的，该报告在2004年发表的声音担心公共和保健专业人员对骨质疏松症和相关骨骼疾病的影响以及如何预防和治疗整个生命的骨质疾病的影响仍然缺乏认识。我们计划了为期一天的研讨会，该研讨会将：1）提供有关各种人群以及生活中不同时间的骨质疏松和骨病的当前知识状态的最新信息； 2）确定基于证据的策略来促进整个生命周期； 3）概述了当前关于骨骼健康的联邦和地方政策观点； 4）突出了未来关于骨病的跨学科研究的可能性，并鼓励年轻的研究人员考虑在这一重要领域的研究项目。一群关于骨病和骨质疏松症的全国知名专家已被邀请介绍有关骨生物学和流行病学的当前知识和研究。预防策略；在整个寿命中筛查，诊断和治疗骨质疏松症；骨质疏松症的次要原因；特殊人群的骨病；地方卫生部门倡议；并采取措施，总结了改善骨骼健康的策略的策略。计划形式包括个人演示，小组讨论和非正式的特殊兴趣会议。目标受众是科学家，临床医生和卫生保健专业人员，学生和研究员，政策制定者以及地方卫生部门以及来自巴尔的摩/华盛顿特区的老年员工的地区卫生部门。
