5.0 out of 5 stars
much needed info for EVERYONE on osteoporosis; well done!
This book covers info for all stages of life and types of persons (including men!) The section on risks is great, and the best chapter explains how Osteoporosis is diagnosed -- bone density scans are at last described in a meaningful way along with their interpretation. I found this very useful. There is a big and appropriate focus on prevention & treatment...

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good, but somewhat outdated...
This book has a lot of good information. It was published in 1999 and therefore somewhat out-of-date. New information on this subject is better found in THE COMPLETE BOOK OF BONE HEALTH by Diane L. Schneider, M.D. published in 2011. It is always good to be informed, but medicine changes regularly. Keep studying,but read my review of Dr. Schneider's book...

This review is from: The Osteoporosis Book: A Guide for Patients and Their Families (Hardcover)
This book covers info for all stages of life and types of persons (including men!) The section on risks is great, and the best chapter explains how Osteoporosis is diagnosed -- bone density scans are at last described in a meaningful way along with their interpretation. I found this very useful. There is a big and appropriate focus on prevention & treatment (great info here!) as well as cases presented that make each chapter come alive with real clinical descriptions and solutions. The book is incredibly well written, indexed superbly and contains numerous references. I can't say enough good things about this very informative and well done book!

Information is power. |
