| Popis: | When osteoporosis is imminent, simple clinical measures--risk reduction and preventive steps such as calcium supplementation and exercise--are in order. Estrogen replacement offers excellent protection in menopausal women. When disease is apparent, bone densitometry can confirm the diagnosis and therapy can be chosen from a widening palette that includes calcitonin and the bisphosphonates. |
