Re: Depo-Provera and osteoporosis--Monitoring long-term use?

Isn't it more important to attack obesity? Teach American kids that it is not necessary always to be eating, that two square meals a day is common all over the world and that people are the healthier for it. I'm prepared to bet that there is far more morbidity from that than from osteoporosis. Of course part of the attack on obesity would include exercise and thus automatically benefit bones!

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
