Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
Since the publication of the first edition, the U.S. Surgeon General released the
first-ever report on bone health and osteoporosis in October 2004. This report focuses
even more attention on the devastating impact osteoporosis has on millions of lives.
According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, 2 million American men have osteoporosis,
and another 12 million are at risk for this disease. Yet despite the large number
of men affected, the lack of awareness by doctors and their patients puts men at a
higher risk that the condition may go undiagnosed and untreated. It is estimated that
one-fifth to one-third of all hip fractures occur in men. This second edition brings
on board John Bilezikian and Dirk Vanderschueren as editors with Eric Orwoll. The
table of contents is more than doubling with 58 planned chapters. The format is larger
- 8.5 x 11. This edition of Osteoporosis in Men brings together even more eminent
investigators and clinicians to interpret developments in this growing field, and
describe state-of-the-art research as well as practical approaches to diagnosis, prevention
and therapy. Brings together more eminent investigators and clinicians to interpret
developments in this growing field. Describes state-of-the-art research as well as
practical approaches to diagnosis, prevention and therapy. There is no book on the
market that covers osteoporosis in men as comprehensively as this book
