Eight million U.S. women have osteoporosis, 50% of women will have a fracture in their lifetime and 25% of women will die in the first year following hip fracture. Menopause is a time when women’s bodies change significantly, with associated losses in bone strength and an increased risk of osteoporosis. Endocrinologist and metabolic bone specialist, Kendall F. Moseley, M.D., provides an enlightened discussion on osteoporosis risk factors, as well as the diagnosis and management of bone loss to prevent fracture.

SPEAKER

Dr. Kendall Moseley is the Medical Director of the Johns Hopkins Metabolic Bone & Osteoporosis Center, Co-Director of the Johns Hopkins Multidisciplinary Parathyroid Clinic, and Clinical Director of the Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology & Metabolism.

Dr. Moseley received her medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX, followed by internal medicine residency training at the Johns Hopkins Hospital.  Upon completion of her endocrinology fellowship at Johns Hopkins, she joined the faculty in the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. 

Board-certified in Endocrinology and Metabolism, Dr. Moseley has a dynamic clinical practice and collaborations within the institution that focus on metabolic bone diseases, osteoporosis, hyperparathyroidism, vitamin D deficiency, atypical fractures, and skeletal survivorship. She is actively engaged in NIH-funded clinical and translational research involving the relationship between type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and aging.  She is additionally involved in research investigating mechanisms by which chronic disease states such as malignancy, HIV, hepatitis C, and cystic fibrosis impact bone quantity and quality.

Clinically, she enjoys partnering with her patients and using their unique and often complex medical history to individually tailor effective diet, lifestyle, and treatment regimens to improve skeletal health.
