Das Ziel dieses Buches ist es zu zeigen, dass die Knochengesundheit nicht nur Aufgabe jeden Arztes ist, sondern auch vom Patienten konsequente Mitarbeit abverlangt: Bone is EveryBody’s Business. Es werden praktische Richtlinien für Diagnostik, Therapie und Prävention der Osteoporose gegeben - von der Pädiatrie bis hin zur Geriatrie. Dieses Buch informiert Ärzte aller Disziplinen darüber, dass die Osteoporose heute eine vermeidbare und auch behandelbare Krankheit geworden ist. Es wurde vor allem benutzerfreundlich geschrieben, damit jeder Arzt Informationen auch über besondere Themen der Osteoporose unkompliziert und rasch findet.

Description:This book, written in an easy to read style, informs physicians about the current knowledge about bone structure, physiology, and pathology with an emphasis on the diagnosis, therapy, and prevention of osteoporosis.
Purpose:The purpose is to educate members of the medical profession in this widespread and potentially rather disabling disease, while providing related current evidence-based medicine.
Audience:Primary care physicians are the audience.
Features:The book covers basic physiology to osteoporosis diagnosis, including utility of specialized tests and current treatment recommendations.
