Osteoporosis. What Every Woman Needs to Know
Description
This program introduces viewers to osteoporosis through a scenario involving a post-menopausal Caucasian woman who has never given birth and has a family history of severely depleted bone density. Topics include the wide spectrum of risk factors, diagnostic procedures, and approaches to osteoporosis management through dietary supplements, moderate weight-bearing exercise, hormone replacement therapy, and bone-restorative medications. Measures that can be taken by younger women who have not yet reached peak bone mass are discussed as well.
