For decades, the phrase bone loss has conjured up images of age and frailty. But researchers now know that osteopenia - the condition of low bone density that precedes osteoporosis - begins robbing women's bones of their strength decades earlier than we thought. The twenty-something marathon runner who avoids dairy products, the thirty-something mother of two who has undergone surgical hysterectomy and said no to estrogen replacement therapy, and the forty-something woman who has always been just a little too thin are a few of the surprising victims of early bone loss.
In Reversing Osteopenia, Dr. Harris H. McIlwain and his two daughters, Laura McIlwain Cruse, M.D., and Kimberly Lynn McIlwain, M.D., all rheumatologists, fill the knowledge gap about this easily diagnosable disease, and provide a five-step program for preventing, controlling, and even reversing bone loss. Includes age-specific recommendations for women in their twenties, thirties, forties, and fifties.
