This document provides information about osteoporosis including goals of education, personal stories, statistics, risk factors, prevention methods, bone density testing, and treatment options. The goal is to increase awareness of osteoporosis, risk factors, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Prevention methods discussed include maintaining sufficient calcium and vitamin D intake through diet and supplements, engaging in weight bearing exercise, avoiding smoking and excessive caffeine/alcohol, and addressing other controllable risk factors. Bone density testing and medications are also covered as part of a comprehensive approach.
The document provides information about osteoporosis including goals of increasing awareness, facts and statistics, risk factors, prevention strategies, and bone density testing. The goals are to educate the public about prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of osteoporosis through a community program. It discusses osteoporosis prevalence, risk factors like age and family history, the importance of calcium and vitamin D, and recommends those at high risk discuss bone density testing with their healthcare provider.
Osteoporosis is a disease where bone density decreases, making bones more brittle and prone to fracture. It is most common in older women after menopause when estrogen levels drop. Calcium and vitamin D deficiencies can contribute to osteoporosis. A DEXA scan is used to diagnose based on bone mineral density T-scores. Treatment focuses on preventing further bone loss through medications, lifestyle changes like exercise, and maintaining calcium and vitamin D levels through diet.
Osteoporosis is a disease where bones become fragile and more likely to break. It occurs most often in older women and is caused by factors such as low estrogen after menopause, a family history of osteoporosis, and a diet low in calcium and vitamin D. To prevent osteoporosis, one should exercise, avoid smoking and excess alcohol, and consume a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D. A bone density test can diagnose osteoporosis and determine bone strength. Treatment may include medications and lifestyle changes to strengthen bones and prevent falls and fractures.
Osteoporosis is a disease where bone density decreases and bones become more fragile and prone to fractures. It affects over 10 million Americans, especially post-menopausal women. To prevent and slow bone loss, one should get enough calcium and vitamin D through foods or supplements, do weight-bearing exercise, and protect themselves from falls. Bone density tests can detect osteoporosis early before fractures occur. Medications may be needed if bone loss has progressed to osteopenia or osteoporosis.
Our bones are constantly being remodeled through bone building and loss. During younger years, bone building exceeds loss but later in life loss increases. Osteoporosis occurs when bone loss causes bones to weaken and fracture more easily, especially in the hip, wrist and spine. Risk factors include being female, older age, family history, low body weight, smoking, excessive alcohol, eating disorders and some medications. Preventing osteoporosis involves regular weight-bearing exercise, sufficient calcium and vitamin D, medication if needed, and not smoking. Bone density tests can identify osteoporosis before fractures occur.

Lactose intolerance occurs when the body does not produce enough lactase to digest lactose in dairy products, leading to gas, cramps, and diarrhea. While some studies found people with lactose intolerance are at higher risk for osteoporosis due to lower calcium intake, other studies did not find this link. Regardless, people with lactose intolerance should focus on meeting calcium and vitamin D needs through supplements and lactose-reduced dairy to build strong bones and prevent osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is a disease where bones become brittle and weak, increasing the risk of fractures. It is caused by low bone density due to lack of calcium and other minerals in bones. Symptoms include back pain and loss of height. Risk factors include age, gender, family history, and medications like corticosteroids. It is diagnosed through tests like DXA scans and treated through lifestyle changes, medications, and hormone therapy.
Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and can easily break. It has no symptoms in its early stages and is a public health threat to more than 44 million Americans. In this community lecture given live on our Berkeley Heights, NJ campus, Dr. Toscano-Zukor, explains how to identify your risk factors for osteoporosis as well as prevent and treat this disease.
Osteoporosis is a disease where bones become brittle and weak, increasing the risk of fractures. It occurs when the body loses more bone than it forms, reducing bone density. Common symptoms include back pain, loss of height, and fractures of the spine, wrists and hips. Risk factors include age, gender, family history, smoking, excessive alcohol, low calcium intake, and medical conditions or medications that reduce bone density. Diagnosis involves tests like DXA scans to measure bone mineral density. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes, medications, and fall prevention to reduce fractures and complications.
Osteoporosis is a disease where bones become brittle and weak, increasing the risk of fractures. It is caused by low bone mineral density due to an imbalance in the bone remodeling process as the body makes less new bone than it breaks down. Risk factors include age, female sex, small body frame, family history, medications, and lack of exercise. It is diagnosed through bone density scans and treated through lifestyle changes like exercise and diet with adequate calcium and vitamin D, as well as prescription medications. Preventing osteoporosis requires building strong bones during childhood and maintaining bone health with exercise and nutrition throughout life.
Osteoporosis is a disease where bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue, making them more likely to fracture. It typically affects bones of the hip, wrist, and spine. While genetic factors contribute, modifiable risk factors include lack of exercise, smoking, excessive alcohol, and inadequate calcium and vitamin D. A DXA scan can detect low bone density before fractures occur. Maintaining strong bones involves getting enough calcium and vitamin D through diet or supplements, weight-bearing exercise, avoiding smoking and excessive drinking. Medications may also help if bone loss has progressed.
Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become brittle and fragile due to loss of tissue, often as a result of hormonal changes or deficiencies in calcium or vitamin D. It is caused by lower bone density and loss of the internal supporting structure of bones. Risk factors include being female, older age, small frame size, family history, and low calcium intake. Symptoms may include back pain, loss of height, and fractures from minor injuries. Diagnosis involves bone density scans and lab tests. Treatment focuses on hormone therapy, medications, calcium/vitamin supplements, exercise, and nutrition.

Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become brittle and prone to fractures due to loss of bone density. It is estimated that over 300 million Indians have osteoporosis. Symptoms may not appear until a fracture occurs. Risk factors include age, gender, family history, small frame size, smoking, excessive alcohol, low calcium intake, and medications like corticosteroids. Diagnosis involves a bone density scan, with results given as a T-score. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like exercise, calcium and vitamin D supplementation, and bone-boosting drugs. Maintaining bone health throughout life can help prevent osteoporosis and fractures later in life.
Osteoporosis weakens bones, making them more susceptible to sudden and unexpected fractures.
The disease often progresses without any symptoms or pain, and is not found until bones fracture. You can take steps to prevent this disease, and treatments do exist.
The word ‘osteoporosis’ means ‘porous bone.’ It is a disease that weakens bones, and if you have it, you are at a greater risk for sudden and unexpected bone fractures.
Osteoporosis means that you have less bone mass and strength. The disease often develops without any symptoms or pain, and it is usually not discovered until the weakened bones cause painful fractures.
Most of these are fractures of the hip, wrist and spine.

Dr. Prakash Sigedar is a consulting orthopedic surgeon who has received several awards and holds leadership positions in orthopedic associations. He summarizes that bone fragility is a major public health problem characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue, leading to fractures. Key points are that it is most common in the elderly and post-menopausal women, and causes pain, disability, and loss of independence from fractures. Prevention through diet, exercise, and medications can help reduce fracture risk and improve bone strength.
Osteoporosis is a chronic, progressive skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass, microarchitecture deterioration of bone tissue, bone fragility, and a consequent increase in fracture risk.
The document discusses osteoporosis, including causes, risk factors, symptoms, tests, and treatments. It focuses on calcium and phosphorus reabsorption leading to bone weakness and osteoporosis. The most accurate test for bone mineral density is dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA scan). Physical therapy can help through weight bearing and resistance exercises while avoiding high impact activities.
Osteoporosis is a significant problem worldwide that affects hundreds of millions of people, especially women. It is projected that over 50% of osteoporotic hip fractures will occur in Asia by 2050. Osteoporosis is caused by low bone density and weak, brittle bones that are prone to fractures from minor stresses or falls. It often presents with back pain or loss of height and can lead to fractures of the spine, hip, or wrist. Risk factors include age, family history, small body frame, hormone or medication use, lack of calcium or vitamin D, and alcoholism. Diagnosis involves bone mineral density tests and treatment focuses on lifestyle changes, calcium/vitamin D supplementation, medications,

Osteoporosis is a disease where decreased bone strength increases the risk of broken bones, most commonly in the spine, forearm, and hip. It is often caused by lower than normal peak bone mass and increased bone loss after menopause due to lower estrogen levels. Symptoms do not usually appear until a fracture occurs. Prevention focuses on adequate calcium intake, exercise, avoiding risk factors like smoking and heavy drinking, and medication if fractures have already occurred.
Bone is living tissue that is constantly broken down and rebuilt. During teenage years, bone growth outpaces breakdown due to hormones, leading to peak bone mass by age 20-30. After age 30, breakdown and rebuilding are balanced until menopause in women causes estrogen loss and more breakdown. People with lupus are at higher risk of osteoporosis due to steroids, inflammation from the disease, and other factors. Regular screening, calcium, vitamin D, exercise, and medications can help prevent or treat osteoporosis in people with lupus.

Calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood are tightly regulated through the actions of parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcitonin, and vitamin D. When blood calcium levels drop, PTH levels rise to promote calcium absorption from the intestine and kidneys and release from bones. Calcitonin acts in opposition to PTH by lowering calcium levels through inhibiting bone resorption and promoting calcium excretion by the kidneys. Vitamin D aids in intestinal calcium absorption and renal reabsorption. Together this hormonal system maintains blood calcium levels within a narrow range through balancing calcium exchange between the blood, bones, intestine and kidneys.
Time Management presentation discusses the importance of time management and provides tips. It defines time management as the process of organizing time commensurate with one's daily schedule. Time is explained as a non-renewable resource, with each day providing 86,400 seconds that cannot be carried over. The most effective time management tips include doing the most important tasks first, maintaining an organized to-do list, focusing on one task at a time, and knowing when to change activities or say no.
This document discusses techniques for effective time management. It outlines benefits like better work-life balance, increased productivity, and avoidance of stress. Some key tips include prioritizing tasks by importance and urgency, setting goals and deadlines, creating daily schedules, identifying and reducing time wasters, and regularly reviewing pending tasks. The overall message is that proper time management allows one to focus on important activities and achieve more in less time.
This document summarizes information about the drug sodium valproate, including its chemical properties, history of use, indications, dosing, mechanisms of action, side effects, contraindications, and considerations for special populations. Some key points are:
- Sodium valproate is an anticonvulsant and mood stabilizer derived from valproic acid that is used to treat epilepsy and bipolar disorder.
- It was first isolated in 1882 and first used clinically in 1964, gaining approval in various countries in the late 1960s and 1970s.
- Its mechanisms of action involve increasing GABA transmission and blocking voltage-gated sodium channels.
- Common side effects include weight gain,
This document discusses sodium valproate and valproic acid, which are used to treat epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and migraine headaches. Sodium valproate is converted to valproic acid in the body. Valproic acid increases GABA levels in the brain through inhibiting GABA-degrading enzymes. It may also affect potassium channels. Common side effects include weight gain, tremors, and liver injury. Therapeutic drug monitoring is important due to its narrow therapeutic window. It is generally dosed at 10-15 mg/kg/day for epilepsy, 250 mg twice daily for migraines, and up to 750 mg/day for bipolar mania.
The document provides information on human anatomy and physiology, with a focus on the digestive system. It describes the structure and functions of the cells, tissues, organs and body systems. It then discusses the layers, organs and functions of the digestive system in detail. This includes the mouth, salivary glands, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver and pancreas. It also covers the mechanisms of acid secretion in the stomach and factors that regulate gastric juice production. Finally, it provides an overview of acid peptic disorders like gastritis, GERD, peptic ulcers, and their causes and treatments.
This document lists 8 vaccines recommended in India along with the diseases they protect against and the ages at which they should be administered. The vaccines protect against tuberculosis, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, hepatitis B, Hib, polio, pneumococcal diseases, measles, rubella, Japanese encephalitis, and tetanus and diphtheria during pregnancy. They are administered according to a schedule between birth and 15 months, with some boosters later in life.
The document discusses Sofosbuvir, a breakthrough drug approved by the FDA in 2013 to treat hepatitis C. Sofosbuvir directly targets the hepatitis C virus, attaching to its RNA to stop it from multiplying in the liver. It is effective against genotypes 1-4 of the virus and offers all-oral treatment options without interferon for some genotypes. A 400mg dose of Sofosbuvir has been found effective in combination therapies lasting 12-24 weeks.
Toxicology is the study of the harmful effects of chemicals on living organisms. All substances can be toxic depending on dose, with even something essential like vitamin A becoming poisonous at high enough levels. Common routes chemicals enter the body include ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact. Factors like dose, formulation, and individual susceptibility determine a substance's toxicity. Pesticides aim to control pests but can also harm nontarget species like humans if exposed, so their use requires minimizing risks to human and environmental health.
The facial nerve, also known as cranial nerve VII, is one of the 12 cranial nerves originating from the brain. It's a mixed nerve, meaning it contains both sensory and motor fibres, and it plays a crucial role in controlling various facial muscles, as well as conveying sensory information from the taste buds on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.

treatment options
3. -PEGGY, AGE 46
“I was absolutely blown
away to discover I had
osteoporosis. And there
are thousands of women
out there in the condition
I was in!”
4. -DIANNE, AGE 61
“I was devastated! I was always
very physically active in school
with hockey and track. I
couldn’t believe it—I was in
shock! My doctor told me not to
pick up my grandchildren, a bag
of groceries, or vacuum. I felt
like I was in a bubble.”
6. NATIONAL STATISTICS
Osteoporosis affects more than 28
million Americans; 80% of them
are women and 20% men
1 in 2 women and 1 in 8 men over
the age of 50 will develop
osteoporosis
Thin bones are the cause of 1.5
million fractures a year
7. FLORIDA STATISTICS
Over 2.1 million individuals have
osteoporosis or low bone mass
1998 - 22,630 residents had hip
fractures
1998 - Hospital charges for hip
fractures were $477.8 million with
80% discharged to nursing homes
8. VERTEBRAL FRACTURES
Can lead to chronic back pain, loss of
height, protruding stomach, stooped
posture - back pain is the most common
complaint
At age 50, a woman has a 50% chance of
an osteoporosis-related fracture during
her life
Loss of ability to do daily living activities
(cooking, cleaning, getting dressed, etc.)
9. A woman’s hip fracture risk equals
her combined risk of breast, uterine
and ovarian cancer
15-20% need long-term care
facilities
There is a 20% increased risk of
death during the first year following
a hip fracture
HIP FRACTURES
10. MYTHS OR FACTS
Men do not get osteoporosis
Diet can provide all of the calcium a
body needs
If your grandmother had
osteoporosis, you will get it too
Dairy products are the only source
of calcium
Activity – Myths or Facts About Osteoporosis
11. MYTHS OR FACTS
If you have osteoporosis, you can
do nothing about it
Our bones stop growing when we
reach full height (about age 20)
Susceptibility to fractures can
indicate osteoporosis
12. Low calcium intake during
adolescence can cause osteoporosis
later
Exercise is dangerous for older
people
MYTHS OR FACTS
13. MEN & OSTEOPOROSIS
Lifetime risk of getting
osteoporosis is the same as a
man’s lifetime risk for prostate
cancer
Nationally, one in eight men over
50 will get osteoporosis
By age 75, one in three men will
get osteoporosis
15. OSTEOPOROSIS: “The Silent Disease”
“Osteo” is Latin for “bone”
“Porosis” means “porous or full
of holes”
“Osteoporosis” means “bones
that are full of holes”
Osteoporosis can develop without
symptoms
You may not know you have the disease
until a bone fractures
16. TYPES OF BONE
(1) Cortical – is hard, compact,
dense bone (example: mid-
section of larger, long-bones of
arms and legs)
(2) Trabecular – is spongy, porous
and flexible bone (example: end
of the wrist, hip and the spine)
Activity - Understanding Our Bones
17. HEALTHY BONE
Bone is living
tissue, which is
constantly being
broken down and
rebuilt, a process
called remodeling
Bone is renewed
like skin, hair and
nails
18. OSTEOPOROTIC BONE
The loss of
living bone
tissue makes
bones fragile
and more
likely to
fracture
Note: arrow points to micro - fracture
20. BUILD YOUR BONE BANK
You build bone until about age 30
Steps to building healthy bones
include:
Calcium & vitamin D
Limit Caffeine & Alcohol
Exercise
Don’t Smoke
21. BONE BANK DEPOSITS
From birth through adolescence, new
bone is built faster than old bone is
removed
In mid-life, depending on lifestyle and
other factors, bone removal can achieve
a balance with bone formation
After menopause, bone removal may
accelerate due to a decrease in
estrogen
22. BONE LOSS & AGING
The first 5-15 years after
menopause a woman can lose
approximately 25 - 30 % of
trabecular bone & approximately
10 – 15 % of cortical bone
Bone loss often occurs
without symptoms or
warning signs
23. EARLY WARNING SIGNS
History of broken bones as an
adult
Unexplained back pain –
subsides after a couple of weeks
Loss of more than an inch in
height
Posture has become stooped
25. CLARIFICATIONS
There is no relationship between
osteoporosis and arthritis
Osteoporosis is a generalized
bone disease that causes porous
bones, usually not causing
symptoms until a fracture occurs
26. Arthritis refers to a group of
diseases and conditions that
affect the joints and are usually
painful
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative
type of arthritis affecting the hip,
knees and tips of the fingers—no
relationship to osteoporosis
CLARIFICATIONS
27. Steroids are sometimes used to treat
arthritis, and using steroids may put a
person at risk for osteoporosis
There is no clear relationship between
dental cavities and osteoporosis
Someone with osteoporosis may have
weakened jawbones and be prone to
losing teeth
CLARIFICATIONS
29. RISK FACTORS - CAN’T CONTROL
Gender: Females are usually
diagnosed with osteoporosis at four
times the rate of males. Bone mass in
males is approximately 15-20% higher
than females
Small Boned & Thin: may result in
smaller bones with a lower bone
density
Activity - Risk Factor Worksheet
30. RISK FACTORS - CAN’T CONTROL
Race/Ethnicity: Women, especially
Caucasian and Asian women with thin
frames are at greater risk
African American women have a higher
peak bone mass (10%) than Caucasian
women, but other factors such as
nutrition, exercise, certain diseases,
and medications may increase their
risk of osteoporosis
31. RISK FACTORS - CAN’T CONTROL
Heredity: your family history may put
you genetically at risk or may be a result
of family members sharing the same
environment, exercise, and nutritional
habits
Menopause or several months without
periods: bone loss begins to exceed
bone formation, due to a decrease of
estrogen
32. Age: In your 40’s you start to
lose bone faster than you
build new bone. The
accumulated loss of
bone puts an older
person at higher risk
RISK FACTORS - CAN’T CONTROL
33. RISK FACTORS – CAN CONTROL
Calcium Rich Diet:
milk, cheese, yogurt
Weight Bearing Exercise:
walk, bike, run
Vitamin D:
sunshine, multivitamin, fortified food
34. RISK FACTORS – CAN CONTROL
Caffeine: Recommendation-
No more than 2-3 cups of
caffeine beverages per day
Cola, coffee and
chocolate all
contain caffeine
35. Alcohol: consuming more than
one alcoholic drink per day is
associated with risk of low bone
mass
RISK FACTORS – CAN CONTROL
Eating Disorders:
anorexia nervosa or
bulimia can lead to
malnutrition and
bone loss
36. Smoking: causes
lower bone density
Immobility: extreme
lack of exercise can
lead to bone loss
RISK FACTORS – CAN CONTROL
37. OTHER RISK FACTORS
Steroids - cause increased bone
breakdown and decreased bone
replacement
Prolonged hyperthyroidism – can
cause increased risk of bone loss
Thyroid hormone - (in excess) – acts
on bone cells to increase resorption
38. Diuretics – some types of diuretics may
increase excretion of calcium in the urine
Kidney failure – affects the metabolism of
calcium, phosphorous and vitamin D
Chronic hepatitis – chronic liver disease
may cause bone loss in several different
ways
Intestinal disease – some can affect the
absorption of vitamin D & calcium
OTHER RISK FACTORS
39. DRUGS-MAY CAUSE BONE LOSS
Cortisone Isoniazid
Seizure drugs Lithium
Cyclosporine Heparin
Methotrexate
Some Hormones Lupron®
Zoledex®

DAILY CALCIUM REQUIREMENTS
National Academy of Science
43. CALCIUM NEEDS
Adolescents-may lack calcium due to
high fat snacks with empty calories,
soda and dieting
Eating Disorders-anorexic or bulimic
teens lack calcium and may develop
osteoporosis at an early age
Older Adults-may have increased
calcium need due to poor absorption
44. SERVING SIZE
1 ½ cup (12 oz) of liquid is the size of soda-
pop can
1 cup (8 oz) of food is the size of large handful
½ cup (4 oz) of food is about half a large
handful
3 (oz) of cooked meat, fish, poultry is about
the size of a deck of cards
A serving size is the amount of the food after it
is cooked
45. 1 oz cream cheese: 20 mg
1 hard boiled egg: 30 mg
½ cup cooked broccoli: 40 mg
½ cup cottage cheese: 80 mg
1 oz cheddar cheese: 205 mg

47. READING FOOD LABELS
Calcium content may vary greatly
between different brands of food
The percentage of calcium in a food is
based on 1000 milligrams. A food
containing 20% calcium = 200 mg
A food containing 10-19% of calcium
is a good source; 20% of calcium or
higher is a very good source

Activity - Foods and Calcium
49. LACTOSE-INTOLERANCE
Individuals who have difficulty
digesting the sugar found in
milk, called lactose
Start with small portions of
food such as milk--gradually
Increase portions
Eat dairy foods in combination with other foods
Many hard cheeses have less lactose than milk
Commercial lactase preparations aid digestion
50. CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTS
Read Labels--several different
types of calcium supplements
available
Avoid -“natural” calcium such as
bone meal or dolomite-some
contain toxic lead or mercury
“Elemental calcium” - is the type of
calcium the body absorbs
51. ELEMENTAL CALCIUM
Kinds of Calcium % Elemental Calcium
Calcium carbonate 40%
Calcium phosphate (tribasic) 39%
Calcium phosphate (dibasic) 30%
Calcium citrate 21%
Calcium lactate 13%
Calcium gluconate 9%
Example, a 500 mg calcium tablet may only contain
45-200 mg of elemental calcium
52. CALCIUM TIPS
Do not take more than 500 mg
of calcium at a time or 2000 mg
total per day
Your body can absorb only
about 500 to 600 mg at a time
Example: take one tablet at
breakfast and another at
dinner
53. CARBONATE CITRATE
Needs acid to
dissolve and for
absorption
Less stomach
acid as we age
Take “at” or
“after” meals when
more stomach acid
Doesn’t require
stomach acid for
absorption
May be taken
between meals
May cost more
54. TEST YOUR CALCIUM TABLET
Put a calcium tablet in a
cup of half water and
half vinegar. Stir
every 5 minutes.
If it doesn’t dissolve
in 30 minutes, it probably
won’t dissolve in your
stomach
55. VITAMIN D
•Vitamin D is
necessary for
calcium to be
absorbed
•Multivitamin or
calcium tablets may
contain 400 IU daily
(don’t exceed 800)
•Vitamin D is in milk
(100 IU in 1 cup)
59. WHO NEEDS TESTING?
If you have major risk factors for
osteoporosis
If you have a family history of osteoporosis
If you have a personal history of fractures
after age 45
If you are on prolonged use of steroids
If you are postmenopausal, and not on
estrogen replacement therapy
Consult your healthcare provider
60. SCREENING TESTS
Portable scanners:
SXA - (Single Energy X-ray
Absorptiometry), measures wrist
or heel
pDXA - (Peripheral Dual Energy
X-ray), measures wrist or heel
61. RA - (Radiographic Absorptiometry),
x-ray of hand that is compared to a
small metal wedge
QCT - (Quantitative Computed
Tomography), measures the spine
Ultrasound - sound waves to
measure the heel, shin, and kneecap
SCREENING TESTS
63. WHAT IS A DXA?
DXA (Dual Energy X-ray
Absorptiometry) is the “gold
standard”
Measures bone density in the hip,
spine, and forearm
Painless, non-invasive, requires no
injections
Takes 10 - 20 minutes
67. FOSAMAX ® (Alendronate)
Approved for prevention and treatment
Approved for treatment of steroid-
induced osteoporosis in men and
women
Prevention – 5 mg daily
Treatment – 10 mg daily or
70 mg once weekly
(for men and postmenopausal women)
