The problem of calcium deficiency in the  population is compounded by the growing percentage of aged individuals  with relatively fragile, less massive skeletons. Current-day  civilizations are much more effective in prolonging human life in a  state of relative debility than even a few decades ago. This reality  is unlikely to change and mandates that we develop strategies to  prevent aging-related diseases like osteoporosis before they become  manifest.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eOsteoporosis: Genetics, Prevention and Treatment \u003c\/em\u003eplaces emphasis  on the (1) genetic predisposition, (2) early recognition and (3)  prevention of osteoporosis. The intent is not to move the  practitioner's attention away from intervention therapy of  osteoporosis, but rather to expand their view of this disease as one  beginning at birth and one in which susceptibility is manifest at the  conclusion of adolescence, not at menopause. The book concludes with  an informed view of the future in terms of the recognition, prevention  and management of osteoporosis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-04-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792383666\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-5115-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 308\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312178811020,"sku":"9780792383666","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792383666.jpg?v=1771520807","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792383666","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
