Assessing the potential to transform our 'Just A Minute' of bone specific activity finding into a population level intervention to help preserve bone

骨质疏松症是一种骨质疏松症，影响50%的女性和20%的50岁以上的男性，并增加他们经历痛苦，改变生活的骨折的机会，特别是脊柱和髋关节。与骨质疏松症相关的高成本预计在未来50年内也将翻一番。帮助人们建立更强壮的骨骼，以帮助保持骨骼健康，预防或延缓骨质疏松症的进展，将大大有助于减少这种疾病对社会的负担和成本。帮助处于骨质疏松风险最高的生命阶段的人保持骨骼强度，是帮助个人尽可能长时间保持无骨质疏松的关键。我们最近发现，平均而言，每天积累“一分钟”的中等影响活动与年轻和成熟（绝经后）女性的骨骼健康有关。与高影响活动相比，中等影响活动更容易融入日常生活活动（例如，高跳跃）。我们的研究被引用在皇家骨质疏松学会出版的运动指南中，该指南旨在帮助从业者向所有人推荐促进骨骼的活动，包括那些患有骨质疏松症的人。但是，我们希望直接与成熟的成人用户群体、皇家骨质疏松协会和相关的健康行业合作伙伴合作，共同创建可访问的工具，而不是依靠指南来实施干预措施，以保持这一高危人群的骨强度，这些工具可以大规模地达到和提供受"只需一分钟"启发的定制骨骼特异性活动干预措施。

Osteoporosis is a bone-thinning disease that affects 50% of women and 20% of men over the age of 50 and increases their chances of experiencing painful, life-changing fractures particularly of the spine and hip. The high costs associated with osteoporosis are also expected to double in the next 50 years. Helping the population build stronger bones to help preserve bone health and prevent or delay the progression of osteoporosis will significantly help reduce the burden and cost of this disease on society. Helping people at a stage of life most at risk of osteoporosis preserve their bone strength, is key for helping individuals stay fracture-free for as long as possible. We have recently found that on average, accumulating 'Just A Minute' of moderate-impact activity per day is associated with better bone health in both young and mature (postmenopausal) women. Moderate-impact activity is more accessible to incorporate into activities of daily living compared to high-impact activities (e.g., high jumps). Our research is referenced in exercise guidance published by the Royal Osteoporosis Society which aims to help practitioners recommend bone-promoting activity to all including those living with osteoporosis. But rather than relying on guidelines to implement interventions to preserve bone strength in this at-risk population group, we want to work directly with mature adult user groups, the Royal Osteoporosis Society and relevant health industry partners to co-create accessible tools that can reach and deliver tailored bone-specific activity interventions inspired by 'Just A Minute' at scale.
