Publishers Text

Osteoporosis develops invisibly. Starting around age thirty-five (or even earlier) women lose up to one percent of their bone mass each year. Often symptoms don't appear for decades and then a bone breaks. Many women experience problems not obviously associated with fragile bones: chronic back pain, dowager's hump, a protruding tummy. But the cause is osteoporosis and twenty-eight million Americans are affected. This books features a self-test to assess risk; the most accurate bone-density tests; nutrition recommendations that go beyond calcium and vitamin D; bone-boosting workouts, with illustrated instructions; medications that offer new hope; and a special chapter for men (who develop osteoporosis, too.)
