Osteoporosis

Follow along on our year-long guide to Osteoporosis, an exploration of the latest recommendations and research on diagnosis, treatment, and management of this bone disease that is the major cause of fractures in postmenopausal women and in older men. Osteoporosis is caused by decreases in bone mineral density and bone mass, or changes in bone structure or strength. Each monthly installment of the Medical Journey will delve into another aspect of this "silent" disease, which typically has no symptoms or warning signs. Included will be information about risks, genetic factors, related conditions, treatment options, coping strategies, and lessons learned from unique case studies -- all of which have undergone expert review. Every installment will also include a separate, downloadable, printable information resource for patients.
