About the Book

An in-depth review of the role of diet in the development and maintenance of bone health throughout the lifecycle, and prevention of osteoporosis in later life, this reference begins with an overview of what is meant by the terms bone health and osteoporosis. This includes key areas such as epidemiology, genetics and the impact of non-nutritional exogenous factors influencing the skeleton. The second section details the established nutritional factors affecting bone health, namely calcium and vitamin D. Section three focuses on the role of macronutrients and macrominerals in bone health, namely protein, phosphorus, sodium and potassium, including the criticality of acid-base homeostasis to skeletal integrity. Section four addresses the effects of microminerals, trace elements, vitamin K, vitamin A and isoflavones on bone. Section five focuses attention on key issues connected with the influence of diet and anorexia and bulimia on bone health including nutrition and bone growth; nutrient-gene interactions; nutrient-drug interactions; and the final section discusses the effect of diet on reduction of fracture risk; the cost-effectiveness of nutritional supplements; and nutritional strategies for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. The book is targeted at a number of key audiences. Whilst there is a focus on the academic research world and those principally involved in education, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, the book should also be of considerable interest to those participating in the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis, namely those working in the medical and health promotion fields. Furthermore, it should be of particular interest to the food industry as the popularity of foods designed to target specific health issues increases, and nutritional therapy has a critical role to play in this major public health problem.

Review :
Highly recommended for undergraduate and postgraduate students in medical or food science, and will also be of value to workers in medical and health promotion, and nutritional therapy. -- Carbohydrate Polymers, 58 (2004) 359-361 (John F Kennedy) Carbohydrate Polymers A well-written and informative book, a first as a textbook on the subject of nutrition and bone health...should provide much useful and interesting information to nutrition students and allied health professionals as well as to scientists in the field of nutrition and bone health. -- Food Australia, Vol.56, No.12, December 2004 (Associate Professor Marlena Kruger) Comprehensive and impressive...a valuable source of information for all working in the bone field and for health professionals. -- Public Health Nutrition, 8(2), 217-218 (Christel Lamberg-Allardt) Public Health Nutrition An excellent reference with comprehensive information on a range of relevant nutritional topics. I would highly recommend it. -- Osteoporosis Review, 2004, Vol.12, No.2 (Terence O'Neill) Osteoporosis Review I would strongly recommend this book as an essential 'key text' in the libraries of all universities involved in the teaching of nutrition. -- Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, 2004, 17, p.481 (Dr Ruth Ash RPHN) Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics - NO BOOKS
