Bone loss can happen silently for years, and sometimes the first warning is a fracture. Understanding your risk early, staying active, eating well, preventing falls and getting appropriate bone health assessment can help protect your bones, mobility and independence.

Frailty is more than simply growing older. It reflects reduced strength and resilience, making the body more vulnerable to illness, falls and other stressors. The good news is that frailty can sometimes improve, especially when recognised early. Strength and balance exercise, good nutrition, medication review and treatment of underlying problems can help preserve independence and quality of life.

Night-time leg cramps are a common cause of sudden pain during sleep, especially as we age. While dehydration and magnesium are often blamed, they are not the cause in most people. Learn what science says about why these cramps happen, simple ways to reduce them, and when frequent or severe cramps should be medically evaluated.

Polypharmacy—the regular use of five or more medications—is increasingly common, especially among older adults and people with multiple chronic conditions. While many medicines are essential, unnecessary or interacting medications can increase the risk of side effects, falls, and medication errors. Regular medication reviews help ensure that every medicine remains necessary, safe, and effective.

Inflammaging is a term used to describe the chronic, low-grade inflammation that develops with ageing. Although it often causes no symptoms, it may contribute to conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, dementia, fatty liver disease, and certain cancers. Healthy lifestyle habits—including regular exercise, good nutrition, quality sleep, and stress management—can help support healthier ageing.
