SUMMARY:Improving Lives by Detecting Sexually Transmitted Infections Early
DESCRIPTION:In the United States\, there are more than 100 diagnostic tests and procedures available for detecting diseases and monitoring their progression. Diagnostic tools are also used to guide treatments and evaluate their effectiveness. Some tests are invasive\, such as a biopsy or endoscopy; whereas others are noninvasive\, such as x-rays and ultrasound imaging procedures. \nInnovations in diagnostics provide access to health information\, helping women make informed decisions about their health care at every stage of their lives. Screening and diagnostic testing can lead to earlier detection of disease\, improve health outcomes\, and contribute toward reducing health disparities among women. \nSWHR is hosting a series of public forums to share educational information about the importance and value of innovative diagnostics throughout the lifespan and across disease states and conditions. The events discuss how to improve health outcomes for diseases and conditions that disproportionately or exclusively affect women\, with special a focus on cancers\, reproductive health\, and bone health. \nThe SWHR Value of Diagnostics within Women’s Health series includes: \n\nHow Vaccines and Screening Can Prevent Cervical Cancer (January 26\, 2022)\nImproving Lives by Detecting Sexually Transmitted Infections Early (April 13\, 2022)\nAssessing and Promoting Bone Health Across the Lifespan (May 18\, 2022)\nHow Hormones Can Tell a Fertility Story (June 8\, 2022)\nOvarian Cancer Screening: More than a Pelvic Exam (September 7\, 2022)\nUnderstanding the Tests that Could Save My Breasts (October 12\, 2022)

SUMMARY:Bone Health Roundtable: Importance of Women’s Bone Health Throughout the Lifespan
DESCRIPTION:April 19\, 1:30 p.m.-4 p.m. — Bone Health Roundtable (Day 1) \nApril 20\, 12:30 p.m.-4 p.m. — Bone Health Roundtable (Day 2) \nApproximately 54 million Americans have low bone mass\, placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis – a condition in which bones become weak and brittle. Risk of bone fracture is higher in women compared to men\, in part\, because women tend to have smaller\, thinner bones and due to the influence of estrogen – a hormone whose protective effects change throughout the life-course\, especially after menopause. Bone mass is also affected by genetic and environmental factors such as ancestry\, nutrition\, and physical activity. \nBreaking a bone is a serious complication of osteoporosis\, and approximately half of all women over age 50 will break a bone because of osteoporosis. In older adults\, complications related to a broken bone can be life threatening and result in a need for long-term nursing care. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation\, an estimated 50% of repeat fractures could be avoided with both cost- effective and well-tolerated treatments. Shifting from a reactive break-and-fix model to one that centers around predictive and preventive bone health and wellness could substantially decrease the clinical and public health burden of bone fractures and diseases. \n\n\n\nAs the nation’s thought leader in promoting research on biological sex differences in disease and improving women’s health through science\, policy\, and education\, the Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) convened an interdisciplinary Bone Health Working Group of health care providers\, researchers\, patient advocates\, and policy leaders for a closed\, roundtable meeting in April 2022. During the roundtable\, the Working Group discussed scientific and policy issues in women’s bone health\, including strategies for fracture prevention in at-risk women.
