Skeletal Aging and Osteoporosis

This book focuses on mechanical aspects of skeletal fragility related to aging and osteoporosis. For clinical and research professionals, topics range from age-related changes in trabecular structure and strength, to exercise and physical interventions.

The focus of this book is on mechanical aspects of skeletal fragility related to aging and osteoporosis. Topics include: Age-related changes in trabecular structure and strength; age-related changes in cortical material properties; age-related changes in whole-bone structure; predicting bone strength and fracture risk using image-based methods and finite element analysis; animal models of osteoporosis and aging; age-related changes in skeletal mechano responsiveness; exercise and physical interventions for osteoporosis.

Presents multidisciplinary research reviews on bone mechanics and the skeletal fragility related to aging For both, clinical and research professionals Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
