Special Issue on Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease that is characterized by a decrease in bone mass and density which can lead to an increased risk of fracture. In osteoporosis, the bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced, and the amount and variety of proteins in bone are altered. According to figures, osteoporosis affects 55% of Americans aged 50 and approximately 80% of them are women. As large numbers of people suffer from Osteoporosis and effective treatment is still not available, close attention and further research seem to be necessary and significant.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring osteoporosis. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Signs and symptoms
• Pathogenesis
• Diagnosis and Prognosis
• Management (osteopathy, etc.)
• Epidemiology
• Aging-associated diseases
• Endocrine diseases

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Osteoporosis” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
