Ann E. Kearns, M.D., MAYO CLINIC ON OSTEOPOROSIS: KEEP YOUR |
|
BONES STRONG AND RESIST YOUR RISK OF FRACTURES (2021) is by an |
|
endocrinologist at Mayo Clinic and is an informative and |
|
up-to-date account of what osteoporosis is and its possible |
|
causes and treatments. |
|
There are valuable suggestions on how to arrange your daily life |
|
so as to avoid falls and fractures, and there is important |
|
information about the types of fractures typically encountered |
|
in osteoporosis and osteopenia. |
|
When discussing possible links with other diseases, the author |
|
mentions autoimmune diseases like lupus but does not mention MS |
|
even though quite a few researchers have noticed the frequency |
|
with which the two disorders seem to turn up in the same |
|
patient. |
|
The book is clearly written and not overly technical. It should |
|
be helpful to anyone facing diminishing bone density or |
|
osteoporosis--or to anyone interested in the topic in general. |
