The 10th International Symposium on Nutritional Aspects of Osteoporosis, which lasted four days, drew to a close on 1st December 2017 at Kerry Hotel, with the participation of over 100 health professionals, researchers from all over the world.
The symposium provides a platform for scientists who work in the field of osteoporosis to gather together every three years to discuss their latest research. There were 22 speakers who took part in the 10th symposium. They gave plenary lectures and shared with us their latest findings across many disciplines, including topics about exercise and sedentary behavior, vitamin D, micronutrients: calcium, sodium and potassium, prebiotics, diet patterns and macronutrients and bioactive and functional foods.
In addition, the poster section showcased 22 posters on osteoporosis. Dr. Zhou Liping (graduated from Prof. Wong Man Sau's group) and Miss Wong Ka Ying (M.Phil student of Prof. Wong Man Sau) of ABCT Department won the Bess Daeson-Hughes Poster Award with their poster titled "Icariin, the most abundant flavonoid in Herba Epimedii, exerted osteoprotective effect without uterotrophic activity".
Let us take this opportunity to congratulate Dr. Zhou Liping and Miss Wong Ka Ying on receiving the honour.
Last but not least, we would like to thank Prof. Connie M. Weaver, Prof. Robin M. Daly, Prof. Heike A. Bischoff-Ferrari, Prof. Wong Man Sau, Mr. Gordon Cheung and the Federation of Medical Societies of Hong Kong for organizing this inspiring conference.
