Reviews for Osteoporosis in Older Persons: Pathophysiology and Therapeutic Approach

From the reviews: The authors of this multiauthored book bring together new information on the molecular biology of bone physiology in this examination of osteoporosis in older persons. ! The intended audience includes all health practitioners who treat older patients with osteoporosis. Research scientists in the area will find this book useful as well. ! This book's demonstration of the complex relationship of bone health to adipose tissue and several powerful hormones will stimulate new thinking in the area of osteoporosis. (David O. Staats, Doody's Review Service, August, 2008) This is a simply outstanding compilation that provides a clear and concise review of the effect age has on the skeleton at the molecular/genetic level, in animal models as well as humans. ! It provides clinicians with an overview of cellular mechanisms leading to bone loss and researchers with insight into the clinical consequences of age-related skeletal change in older adults. That such a text has not previously been written and become a reference standard among clinicians, geriatricians, and researchers ! . (Neil Binkley, JAMA, Vol. 300 (11), September, 2008)
