C A Sedlak et al. Orthop Nurs. 2000 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Osteoporosis is a major nursing and health concern. Outcomes of this disease result in major body image changes including loss of height, curved spine, and protruding abdomen. Individuals with osteoporosis are not usually disabled but may perceive themselves as unattractive and experience social isolation due to ill fitting clothes that accentuate the physical changes. This article describes fashion tips on how to select clothes that are attractive, comfortable, and easy to wear.
