title: [Sociomedical significance and restabilization therapy of osteoporosis (author's transl)].
abstract: Osteoporosis (physiological or pathological) is to be expected in about 7 million citizens of the Federal Republic. Fracture-promoting osseous atrophy, vertebral deformities limiting movement for maintenance of stability and skeletal pains due to muscular weakness and change of posture are the symptoms which frequently lead to disability. When osteoporosis turns to a disease in this way, then sodium fluoride therapy is recommended for reossification and restabilization of the bones. Prophylactically, for reduction of osteoporosis over the age of 40, light gymnastics, regular swimming and the avoidance of noxae which decrease the blood flow are to be advised.
