Thank you for the appreciation, encouragement and support of all the elders or their family members visited us on that days.

JOCOC participated in 50+ Expo 2023 from July 7 to 9.  We arranged bone health related self online assessments and provided counter based health education for the elderly. Those over 65 who were at high risk of fractures and falls will be arranged to participate in University research and follow-up projects. In the past three days, we have served more than 700 elderly people and completed around 1,000 pre-screening tests.  We would like to thank the Hong Kong Osteoporosis Foundation and the Asia Pacific Osteoporosis Foundation for their co-organization support. In addition, we would like to thank the professors, doctors and professional medical members of the two Foundations for their guidance and leadership.

This event commemorating the World Osteoporosis Day 2022 (WOD2022) held successfully under the surge of COVID 19! There were 480 elderlies join this remarkable day! After completed the fall risk assessments, there were over 350 elderlies earnestly aware risk level of themselves meanwhile bone health education was provided. We also held a health talk by two geriatricians — Prof. Timothy Kwok, Director of JOCOC and Professor of Department of Medicine and Therapeutics of CUHK, Dr. Edward Leung, Vice President of HKOF and HKAG, Dr. Dicky CHOY, Physician of JOCOC.

We hope that by holding this public event, could raise the community awareness on Osteoporosis Health.
