Starvation osteoporosis and the next generation. A family case report

Abstract

<p>Early life metabolite deprivation was recognized as predisposing to later life premature osteoporosis and transferred to the next generations. No retrospective studies on WWII time deprivation could be performed, hence studies are conducted on survivors and their descendants. These are no scientific, no epidemiological /statistical, they could only be observational studies. The present case report of a family with osteoporosis premature in father and premature in adults, ought to be brought to awareness and could raise the possibility of inheritance.</p>
