Dr. Siris:
It consists of clinicians and advocates for healthcare. One of the things we can provide patients is a wonderful little booklet just been updated called ‘Boning up,’ it’s free of charge. ‘Boning up’ has lots of extremely useful information about exercise, about calcium, about vitamin D, about what a bone density test looks like and how it feels, tells you about risk factors, tells you really all you need to know for yourself, for your mother, for your children, for your husband. It’s got lots of valuable information and knowledge is power, so you need to read about it more.
And I think it’s a very well written document written by, as I said, healthcare providers, specialists in osteoporosis and also individuals who deal in the public health domain.
