Osteoporosis - an insidious and crippling skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass, systemic deterioration of bone tissue, and increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture - has now reached epidemic proportions among postmenopausal women. This excellent collection of recent articles by specialists from medicine, nursing, nutrition, exercise physiology, physical therapy, and demography addresses the many challenges of a disease that for too long has been dismissed as a normal part of aging.
