Summary: | The outcome of recent clinical trials in osteoporosis was the impetus for this volume. In these studies of two bisphosphonates, an interaction between bone mineral density (BMD) and the treatment effect was seen, such that these agents appeared to lose their effect as BMD increased. To practitioners this is counter-intuitive. Why should treatment work and not prevention? This book uses a solid evidence base to explore such issues, without limiting itself to specialist concerns.
