Osteoporosis affects an estimated 3 million people in the UK. The
condition causes the bones to become more fragile and therefore
more prone to fractures, along with pain, a loss of movement, and
an inability to perform daily tasks. One in two women and one in
five men in the UK will suffer a fracture after the age of 50.
Aimed at patients and carers, this book covers topics such as who
is affected, what the risk factors are, and how patients can
prevent or lessen the efefcts. The book looks forward to advances
in diagnosis and treatment and how they have improved health
outcomes of patients. Written by a leading osteoporosis specialist
and Scientific Advisory Committee Member of the National
Osteoporosis Society, this addition to the Facts series is a
comprehensive guide to understanding and coping with this
debilitating disease.
