Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration<br />

<strong>of</strong> bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and an increased susceptibility<br />

to fractures <strong>of</strong> the hip, spine, and wrist. This disease is responsible for more than<br />

1.5 million fractures annually; 44 million Americans have low bone mass such<br />

that they either have osteoporosis or are at significant risk <strong>of</strong> developing the<br />

disease. Of the 10 million who actually have osteoporosis, 80 percent are<br />

women. Men suffer one-third <strong>of</strong> all hip fractures that occur, and approximately<br />

one-third <strong>of</strong> these men will not survive more than one year after the fracture.<br />

Our population is increasing in the fraction <strong>of</strong> elderly persons faster than at any<br />

other time in human history. Understanding ways in which toxicants contribute<br />

to the development <strong>of</strong> osteoporosis is an important undertaking. In this workshop,<br />

we will provide 1) basic information on pathways <strong>of</strong> bone formation and<br />

bone resorption and their role in the development <strong>of</strong> osteoporosis, 2) new<br />

insights into how the important metals, lead and cadmium, affect bone cell pathways<br />

and contribute to metabolic bone disease, 3) the role that alcohol<br />

consumption may play in the development <strong>of</strong> osteoporosis, and 4) discussion by<br />

workshop participants <strong>of</strong> the results presented with respect to their application<br />

and relevance to human health.<br />
