The Bone Health Revolution And Osteoporosis
| Osteoporosis is most prevalent of the bone disease that affects people of western countries, especially developed nations like the US, the UK and Canada. It results in low bone mass density as a result bones becomes porous and fragile and the risk of bone fractures increases. |
 Women are particularly more vulnerable to osteoporosis since they have lower bone mass right from the birth and bone loss accelerates after the menopause.
Over the years there has been research on osteoporosis and osteoporosis related bone disease by individual as well as by various bone health research organization and pharmaceutical companies. The book “Bone Health Revolution” written by Vivian Goldschmidt throws light on osteoporosis, osteopania and the drugs prescribed by big pharmaceutical companies for treatment of osteoporosis, and their associated side effects.

How Does Osteoporosis Differ From Osteomalacia ?
Osteoporosis differs from osteomalacia in several aspects. Osteoporosis is a disease in which there is a decrease bone density; meaning that for a particular volume of bone there is too little calcium and phosphorous in bones due to which the bones becomes fragile and porous. In osteomalacia, however, the amount of bone density or mass may be normal, but there is little mineral in bone. More...
Osteoporosis In Non Dairy Cultures

Osteoporosis In The Third World Countries
Osteoporosis is bone disease in which there is substantial decrease in bone mass density thus making bones porous and fragile. However, there are other two main causes of osteoporosis and they are lack of calcium and low levels of estrogen. All over the world there are countless of new cases of osteoporosis and this is not just confined to western countries but is also affecting people of third world countries. More...
