Osteoporosis: African Genesis - European Nemesis

Another of the RSE's free public lectures, this time given by Professor David Purdie, Consultant, Edinburgh Osteoporosis Centre.

Osteoporosis - or brittle bone disease - is now a major public health problem in the ‎UK, affecting one in three women and one in twelve men over age 50. The tracking ‎of its origins through clinical medicine, genetics and anthropology remains one of the ‎most fruitful collaborations in contemporary science. This lecture follows the trail ‎from Africa to Edinburgh as we confront a disease which robs women of stature, ‎self-esteem and life itself.‎
