Abstract des Autors
Many aspects of the pathophysiology, prevention, and treatment of osteoporosis are still unclear. However, two facts have emerged over the past ten or so years that now appear incontrovertible: Estrogen deficiency in women results in bone loss, and estrogen treatment in estrogen-deficient women mitigates osteoporosis. This article reviews the use of estrogen in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, and only addresses the issue of estrogen deficiency where it is required for clarity. Verf.-Referat
