Exercise program may improve function and quality of life in osteoporotic women
Osteoporos Int. 2011 Jun;22(6):1863-71. doi: 10.1007/s00198-010-1435-789 osteoporotic women (60 or older) were randomized to determine the effectiveness of an exercise program on functional outcome and health-related quality of life in this population. Patients were allocated to a 3-month exercise protocol group or control group, who were told to retain their current lifestyle. Follow-up assessments were conducted at the end of the program period (3 months) and at 12 months.
