The Osteoporosis Book: A Guide for Patients and Their Families

Osteoporosis currently affects thousands of Australians and New Zealanders, and as the baby boomers enter their fifties, this bone-weakening disease is poised to strike thousands more. Because of this disease, many older people will suffer from a bone fracture at some point, and far too many of these fractures will result in permanent disability. The good news is that this devastating ‘silent epidemic’ is entirely preventable, and in The Osteoporosis Book, readers of all ages will find everything they need to know to slow, stop, and even reverse the bone loss that causes this crippling disease.
