Osteoporosis is a disease of the entire skeletal system with a
decreased bone density and a disorder of the micro architecture of the
bone tissue. Brittle bones and an increasing risk for
bone fractures is the consequence.
In Germany 5 - 7 million people already suffer
from osteoporosis.
Prevention, early
detection, and - if necessary - treatment of the osteoporosis
is of great importance to avoid long term suffering with pain
and brittle bones..
