Another Country, Same Problems Diagnosing Osteoporosis

It was saddening to hear that the UK health system has similar problems (or perhaps even worse) diagnosing and treating osteoporosis as here in the US. A recent study (see http://www.healthcarerepublic.com/news/PracticeStaff/LatestNews/735072/National-evaluation-reveals-patchy-care-osteoporosis-falls/) shows that little is being done to help older... Read moreChevron

unfortunate racial disparities

Although osteoporosis is more prevalent in women of Caucasian and Asian descent, it is still disconcerting to see this study in the Southern Medical Journal (http://www.smajournalonline.com/pt/re/smj/abstract.00007611-200707000-00006.htm;jsessionid=Gm6Y9SsYgqyfYBv21vS3KBLhSnrFnPdb1fNWnNW3M8Jplydp0HyR!1683421839!181195628!8091!-1).

moles against osteo

I don't know about this. Apparently having a lot of moles may be correlated with a lower risk of age-related diseases such as osteoporosis, according to research at King's College London.

osteoporosis "hype"

I'm not sure who else spotted the recent Women's Enews commentary last week, "Let's Make May the Month to Tame Osteoporosis Hype," but the piece struck me as pretty irresponsible. (It's at www.womensenews.org/article.cfm/dyn/aid/3179/context/archive) The argument of the authors was to downplay the importance of the new once-yearly... Read moreChevron
