Record Number of Abstracts Submitted for Largest Scientific Congress Specifically Devoted to Osteoporosis
June 01, 2006

    TORONTO, June 1 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- The IOF World
Congress on Osteoporosis (IOF WCO), the world's largest
scientific congress devoted specifically to the bone
disease osteoporosis, opens on Friday June 2, in Toronto,
Canada.

    Professor Rene Rizzoli, chairman of the IOF WCO
Scientific Committee, noted that this year's congress
attracted 720 abstracts, more than twice the number of the
previous congress held in 2004 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

    On June 2, 2006, in one of the Congress highlights,
space explorers and earth-bound medical experts will
examine the links between immobility and bone health at the
Bone Research in Space Symposium. Canadian physician and
astronaut Dr. Dave Williams, who is the first Canadian to
have lived in both the ocean and space, is one of the
panel.

    As part of the 2nd IOF Women Leaders Roundtable, to be
held in conjunction with the Congress, nine prominent women
from around the world will call for action by policy makers,
health professionals and individuals to fight the silent
epidemic of osteoporosis.

    Themes to be covered during the five-day IOF World
Congress on Osteoporosis include 35 oral presentations and
more than 680 poster presentations that focus on nutrition,
smoking, exercise and osteoporosis; osteoporosis diagnosis,
treatment, epidemiology and health economics issues;
pregnancy, infancy and osteoporosis; and osteoporosis in
men. See IOF WCO
