Synopsis
In this companion to "No Change", Wendy Cooper presents the latest facts about osteoporosis - a crippling and debilitating brittle bone condition affecting mainly women after the onset of the menopause, and for which there is no known cure. Here, Wendy Cooper explains the causes, why women are particularly at risk, how they can assess their risk and what steps they can take to prevent it. She looks at the roles that diet, exercise, lifestyle, drugs and calcium supplements play, but moreover, unlike other books on this subject, she focuses on HRT as the only known and effective method of prevention after the onset of the menopause when the protection afforded to bones by the sex hormones is lost. It also contains case histories of sufferers, letters from women and the views and statements of leading doctors, plus advice on where women can obtain further help, lists of clinics and advisory bodies and a detailed index.
