Rezensionen
Aus den Rezensionen:

"... Ziel der Autoren ist es, die Leser mit neuesten Informationen über die Osteoporose des betagten Menschen zu versorgen. ... Das Buch zeichnet aus, dass klar und übersichtlich die Verbindung zwischen Altern und den dazugehörigen Veränderungen in der Knochenbiologie aufgezeichnet werden ... Zudem werden in ... Abbildungen die ... therapeutischen Ziele zur Prävention und zur Behandlung der senilen Osteoporose aufgezeigt ... lnsgesamt ein Buch, das sich an Geriater, Orthopäden und ... anderen medizinischen Berufsgruppen wendet, die sich mit der medikamentösen Osteoporose und Sturzprophylaxe des geriatrischen Patienten beschäftigen ..." -- Prof. Dr. Bernd Fromm, in: Orthopädie Mitteilungen, 2009, Issue 1, S. 117 f.
From the reviews:

"The authors of this multiauthored book bring together new information on the molecular biology of bone physiology in this examination of osteoporosis in older persons. ... The intended audience includes all health practitioners who treat older patients with osteoporosis. Research scientists in the area will find this book useful as well. ... This book's demonstration of the complex relationship of bone health to adipose tissue and several powerful hormones will stimulate new thinking in the area of osteoporosis." (David O. Staats, Doody's Review Service, August, 2008)

"This is a simply outstanding compilation that provides a clear and concise review of the effect age has on the skeleton at the molecular/genetic level, in animal models as well as humans. ... It provides clinicians with an overview of cellular mechanisms leading to bone loss and researchers with insight into the clinical consequences of age-related skeletal change in older adults. That such a text has not previously been written and become a reference standard among clinicians, geriatricians, and researchers ... ." (Neil Binkley, JAMA, Vol. 300 (11), September, 2008)
