  • Title: Osteoporosis: recommendations for resistance exercise and supplementation with calcium and vitamin D to promote bone health.
    Author: Benton MJ, White A.
    Journal: J Community Health Nurs; 2006; 23(4):201-11. PubMed ID: 17064230.
    Abstract:
    Hormone replacement therapy, once the gold standard for treatment of osteoporosis, is no longer a clinical option. Effective alternatives are available using resistance exercise and supplementation with calcium and vitamin D to ameliorate bone loss and promote new bone formation. This article summarizes current evidence and provides recommendations for community health nurses to develop effective plans for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.
