Obesity may explain reduced bone fracture worldwide

MEDIA RELEASE: 10 Apr 2013
A Garvan study shows that women – but not men – with more abdominal fat are less at risk of bone fracture. This may explain why global rates of fracture are declining at the same time as obesity is increasing. The data come from the ongoing Dubbo Osteoporosis Epidemiology Study (DOES).
 
 

How a snapshot of ASEAN scientific capabilities can guide us

MEDIA RELEASE: 05 Jul 2011
In the first study of its kind done on the ASEAN countries as a group, a Garvan researcher and Vietnamese colleague have provided a useful snapshot of the scientific landscapes and capabilities of our regional neighbours, and how those attributes are likely to drive their economies.
 
 

An extra 5 years of life an unexpected benefit of osteoporosis treatment

MEDIA RELEASE: 03 Feb 2011
Clinical researchers at Garvan have noted an extraordinary and unexpected benefit of osteoporosis treatment – that people taking bisphosphonates are not only surviving well, better than people without osteoporosis, they appear to be gaining an extra five years of life.
