J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci . 2000 Sep; 55(9):M492-7. PMID: 10995046
Background: Osteoporosis is a significant problem in older men, 30% of all hip fractures occur in men and the mortality rate following hip fracture exceeds that of women. Testosterone is...

Kenny A, Prestwood K
Rheum Dis Clin North Am . 2000 Sep; 26(3):569-91. PMID: 10989513

Prestwood K, Raisz L
Clin Cornerstone . 2000 Aug; 2(6):34-44. PMID: 10938990
Osteoporosis develops in older adults when the normal processes of bone formation and resorption become uncoupled or unbalanced, resulting in bone loss. Fractures are the result of decreased bone mass...

Raisz L, Prestwood K
Clin Cornerstone . 2000 Aug; 2(6):1-10. PMID: 10938987
Osteoporosis is likely to become the most common disorder of our aging population. An understanding of factors that affect the incidence of osteoporosis is critical if we are to successfully...
