Osteoporosis : Risk Factors, Symptoms & Management Hardback
by Alejandro Romero Pena, Virgilio Ortega Perez
Hardback
Description
Osteoporosis is a systemic, debilitating disease of the skeleton, characterised by significantly decreased bone mass in combination with the deterioration of bone microarchitecture.
This process results in weakened bone with a great propensity for fracture under low-energy stress.
This book presents current research in the study of the risk factors, symptoms and management of osteoporosis.
Topics include the influence of osteoporosis in oral health; assessment of risk fracture risk and therapeutic effects on osteoporosis; diagnosing future bone fracture; genetic and environmental factors in human osteoporosis; the pathogenesis of skeletal complications in patients with endogenous hypercorticism; genetic and postmenopausal osteoporosis risk; and severely suppressed bone turnover associated with bisphosphonate for osteoporosis.
