Every Woman's Guide To Osteoporosis

By the age of sixty, one out of four women will develop osteoporosis, a degenerative bone disease with unknown causes, and presently incurable. This informative program seeks to alert women to the presence of the disease, before a fracture signals the advanced stages. The twelfth leading cause of death in the U.S., osteoporosis can be detected through bone density screenings. Viewers are shown various treatment methods, and given extensive advice on diet and calcium/vitamin D supplements, both as preventative measures, and as combatants of the acceleration of the disease. Excellent production qualities, and comprehensive treatment of its subject, make this a good purchase for public libraries. Highly recommended.
