To B-B-Q or not to B-B-Q: the effects of protein intake on bone health

We discuss:

- The interaction between dietary protein and calcium in regulating our bones

- Both positive and negative effects of protein

- Associations between protein intake and fracture risk

- The impact of dietary protein on the skeleton appears to be favorable in older people who are meeting their dietary calcium requirements

Episode 2, 2018: Chronic disability in Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander People

We discuss:

- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experience disability at

approximately twice the rate of other Australians

- Fracture prevalence is much higher and is increasing in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people

- There is very limited data on bone density with no studies in muscle health.

- Future studies are needed to formulate preventative strategies that are appropriate in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

Episode 1.2018 - What's all the fuss about?

Over the summer, a new study came out which suggests that calcium and vitamin D may not do anything for our bones after all. But there is more to this story than meets the eye.

Join the team at Bone Group Banter as we dissect this study and along the way learn what a meta-analysis is, why they are important, how they can often be misleading and how these types of studies should be reported.
