In this book, medical writer Jacobowitz shares answers to 150 essential questions, based on questionnaires from more than 25,000 women. Photos.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Osteoporosis causes 1.5 million bone fractures every year; 80 percent of the victims are women who lose bone mass rapidly when their bodies stop producing estrogen. This disabling process can be prevented and treated with a combination of exercise, diet, hormone replacement, and calcium supplements. Both these books explain the condition and its treament adequately. Jacobowitz uses a question-and-answer format while Lyon and Sutton offer a more detailed narrative presentation. They also explain the anatomy and physiology of bone structure and provide recipes for calcium-rich dishes and exercise regimens. Both books contain glossaries, bibliographies, and referral lists. While Dr. Morris Notelovitz's Menopause and Midlife Health ( LJ 6/15/93) and Dr. Kenneth Cooper's Preventing Osteoporosis ( LJ 4/15/89) provide superior coverage of the subject, either of these new books would be acceptable additions to consumer health collections that need more osteoporosis material.
