Osteoporosis in Men

Although seldom studied or analysed, osteoporosis in men is becoming an increasingly important clinical problem. While its onset in men begins at a later age, the effects can be as devastating and severe as they are in women. This text focuses specifically on osteoporosis as it presents in men. The editors have drawn together a team of experienced specialists to review all aspects of the disease and its management. Designed to help clinicians diagnose and treat elderly men with clear signs of progressing osteoporosis, the book examines different approaches to therapy and assesses their effectiveness.
