Written by a well-known author
During the menopause, both the quantity and quality of bone
decline rapidly, leading to a dramatic increase in the risk of
fracture in postmenopausal women. Although many factors are known
to be associated with osteoporotic fractures, measures to identify
and treat women at risk are underused in clinical practice.
Consequently, osteoporosis is frequently not detected until a
fracture occurs. Identification of postmenopausal women at high
risk of fracture therefore is a priority.
The "Handbook of Osteoporosis" reviews the risk factors, and
lifestyle changes that can help prevent osteoporosis and evaluates
the pharmacological treatments currently available.
