Osteoporosis Health Center

Researchers are currently trying to figure out which genes and bone formation pathways are involved in bone health. Their hope is that they can use these discoveries to develop better ways to treat or prevent osteoporosis. Long-term study results on the elderly, minority populations, women and men will help researchers create targeted therapies and prevention methods based on individual traits of patients.
