Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Osteoporosis: The Facts helps patients understand osteoporosis by providing a wide range of information about the disease, its causes, its management and self-help strategies. It also looks specifically at fractures and how to prevent them.
MoreLong description:
Osteoporosis affects an estimated 3 million people in the UK. The condition causes the bones to become more fragile and therefore more prone to fractures, along with pain, a loss of movement and an inability to perform daily tasks. One in two women and one in five men in the UK will suffer a fracture after the age of 50.
Aimed at patients and carers, this book covers topics such as who is affected, what the risk factors are, and how patients can prevent or lessen the effects. The book looks forward to advances in diagnosis and treatment and how they have improved health outcomes of patients. Written by a leading osteoporosis specialist and Scientific Advisory Committee Member of the National Osteoporosis Society, this addition to the Facts series is a comprehensive guide to understanding and coping with this debilitating disease.
...provides an...easy to read outline of osteoporosis and the anatomy and physiology of bones...who is at risk, and the potential causes...this book will be useful, not just to patients, but to anyone wanted to gain knowledge about osteoporosis.
