As a result, osteoporosis is becoming more prevalent, affecting over 40 million Americans—a staggering number comprised of both men and women—oftentimes with devastating consequences. A silent disease, for many, it remains undiagnosed until a fracture occurs, which can lead to dramatic changes, such as loss of independence or even death. Designed to give patients hope, The Silent Stalker: A Patient’s Guide for Understanding Osteoporosis is a supplement to proper medical treatment, offering those diagnosed with this condition information crucial to understanding and combatting osteoporosis, leading to a more productive lifestyle with the possibility of reversal of the disease.
