Although osteoporosis has been de? ned as a metabolic bone disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue leading to enhanced bone fragility and a consequent increase in fracture risk, it is not clear that osteoporosis represents a single disease as much as a similar response of bone to different pathophysiologies. In the 1940s Fuller Albright and colleagues recognized osteoporosis of old age and distinguished it from osteoporosis associated with the postme- pausal state, as well as from osteoporosis from disuse, osteoporosis from malnutrition, and...

Osteoporosis Research - Animal Models is a reference book of the major animal models used in the study of Osteoporosis. Use of animal models provides important knowledge about pathological conditions that can eventually lead to the development of more effective clinical treatment of diseases in both humans and animals. This book is directed primarily toward endocrinologists, rheumatologists, geriatricians, gerontologists, bone biologists, investigators, research fellows, graduate students, and those working in osteoporosis research. This book is intended to serve as a basis for a...

This new edition includes the most up-to-date information about the pathophysiology and new therapeutic alternatives for osteoporosis of advanced age. It is written by investigators (clinicians and basic scientists) in the field of aging bone research. It was just recently that a new syndrome, osteoporosis of advanced age, was recognized as a new entity with its own pathophysiology and potential treatments. Unfortunately, and despite the fact that hip fractures are mostly a consequence of this process, and apart from the first edition of this book, there are few publications about this...
