Samenvatting

Osteoporosis affects 25 million people in the United States, mostly women, and many more people around the world. No early symptoms reveal the disease, and often a diagnosis is made when there is so much bone loss that a bone breaks. Men also suffer from the disease; about 13 percent of white men in the United States will suffer from an osteoporotic fracture at some point in their lives. This book will provide the reader with understanding of the disease and its risk factors, how it is diagnosed and treated, and how it can be prevented -- through oestrogen replacement, exercise, and several new drugs which have been approved by the FDA. Dr Lane, who is funded by the NIH to study osteoporosis and is a clinician in this area, is well equipped to provide a state of the art book that is also understandable to a lay audience.
