Abstract
Maintenance of healthy bones and thereby avoidance of osteoporotic fractures can be achieved by institution and adherence to a specific plan of action, a programme of nine specific steps for the prevention of bone loss. These self-help measures are just as important for people who do not have osteoporosis because they reduce the risk of developing the disease. There is one condition for success of the plan — a sine qua non! — the individual him/herself must have the will power to start immediately and the perseverance to continue! The goal for the twenty-first century:
-
Population — the quality of life up!
-
Authorities — the cost of health care down!
