Since the publication of the first edition, the U.S. Surgeon
General released the first-ever report on bone health and
osteoporosis in October 2004. This report focuses even more
attention on the devastating impact osteoporosis has on millions of
lives. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, 2 million
American men have osteoporosis, and another 12 million are at risk
for this disease. Yet despite the large number of men affected, the
lack of awareness by doctors and their patients puts men at a
higher risk that the condition may go undiagnosed and untreated. It
is estimated that one-fifth to one-third of all hip fractures occur
in men.
This second edition brings on board John Bilezikian and Dirk
Vanderschueren as editors with Eric Orwoll. The table of contents
is more than doubling with 58 planned chapters. The format is
larger - 8.5 x 11. This editionof Osteoporosis in Menbrings
together even more eminent investigators and clinicians to
interpret developments in this growing field, and describe
state-of-the-art research as well as practical approaches to
diagnosis, prevention and therapy.
