Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an 85-year-old woman who is physically, mentally and socially active and in quite good health, except for osteoporosis issues. The only medications I take are Maxzide for blood pressure, rosuvastatin for cholesterol, and Prolia injections for osteoporosis. My most recent cholesterol readings were 119 mg/dL (total), 58 mg/dL (HDL), 33 mg/dL (LDL), and 170 mmol/L (triglycerides), which seem good.
