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.

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.
