美国华人医师会将于7月18日（周二）下午2点-4点在法拉盛图书馆3楼会议室举行小型健康讲座，此次讲座的主题是：亚裔骨质疏松的特点–如何预防、筛查和治疗。
骨质疏松–被称之为“沉默杀手”的一种常见病，很多人却错误地以为只是一个老年人的疾病，以为只要补充该片、维生素D就足够了。殊不知骨质疏松甚至在有些年轻人中也可能会发生，而亚裔人群由于其自身特点，在骨质疏松的发病率、筛查以及治疗上又有特别之处。
骨质疏松引起的髋部骨由于高达30%多的死亡率而常被称为“人生最后一次骨折”，如何正确认识骨质疏松，美国华人医师会邀请朱自强医生会广大民众解惑答疑。
法拉盛内科朱自强医生將會是此次健康讲座的主讲人。他毕业于浙江大学医学院和北京协和医科大学，曾在美国路易斯维尔大学和美国国立癌症研究所从事多年博士后研究，期间参与多个临床实验，在多种国际权威医学杂志上发表研究论文和受邀在国际会议上演讲。朱医生在纽约Brookdale医学中心完成内科住院医培训，获得美国内科学会和美国肥胖学会的专科文凭，朱医生在法拉盛开设内科诊所，同时也是西奈山医疗系统以及纽约长老会皇后医院的主治医师，目前是美国华人医师会董事会成员之一

The The Association of Chinese American Physicians (ACAP) will hold a small health lecture on July 18th (Tuesday) from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM in Meeting Room 3 on the 3rd floor of the Flushing Library. The theme of this lecture is “Characteristics of Osteoporosis in Asian-Americans: How to Prevent, Screen, and Treat.”
Osteoporosis, often referred to as the “silent killer,” is a common condition that many people mistakenly believe only affects the elderly, and they think that simply supplementing calcium and vitamin D is sufficient. However, osteoporosis can occur in some younger individuals, and the Asian-American population has unique characteristics related to the incidence, screening, and treatment of osteoporosis.
Hip fractures caused by osteoporosis are often referred to as the “last bone fracture in life” due to a mortality rate of over 30%. To provide clarity and answers regarding osteoporosis, ACAP has invited Dr. Ziqiang Zhu, an internist in Flushing, to speak.
Dr. Ziqiang Zhu, an internist in Flushing, will be the keynote speaker for this health lecture. He graduated from Zhejiang University School of Medicine and Peking Union Medical College and conducted postdoctoral research for several years at the University of Louisville and the National Cancer Institute in the United States. During this time, he participated in multiple clinical trials, published research papers in various international medical journals, and was invited to speak at international conferences. Dr. Zhu completed his internal medicine residency training at Brookdale Medical Center in New York, obtaining specialized diplomas from the American College of Physicians and the American College of Obesity Medicine. He runs an internal medicine clinic in Flushing and is also an attending physician at the Mount Sinai Health System and New York-Presbyterian Queens Hospital. Currently, he is a member of the board of directors of the The Association of Chinese American Physicians.
Everyone is welcome to attend this health lecture. Thank you!
Date: July 18, 2023 (Tuesday), 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Location: Queens Library Flushing, 3rd-floor meeting room.
