RE: Blocking FSH May Reduce Body Fat Levels and Increase Bone Density In Menopause

in #medicine8 years ago

I think we all are! Hopefully technology will allow it to be reduced or even stopped. One of the big problems in both older women and men is falls and the subsequent risk of major fractures like hip fractures - it can sometimes result in a cascade of issues that greatly shorten life. Just reducing the risk would be a great help.

Yeah, that's scary to think about. My grandfather actually suffered a fall some years ago and had to get hip surgery. He had to give up smoking and he exercises daily with my grandmother. He's in his 80's and pretty happy for a grump.
