Strong Bones: A Patient's Guide to Managing Osteoporosis (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798340148759)

Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease characterized by decreased bone density and strength, which increases the risk of fractures. It often develops silently over many years, making it difficult for individuals to recognize its presence until a fracture occurs. The condition is particularly prevalent among postmenopausal women due to the significant drop in estrogen levels, which plays a crucial role in maintaining bone density. However, osteoporosis can also affect men and children, highlighting the importance of awareness and education across all demographics.
