概述
Osteoporosis is a common generalized skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) and loss of bone mass, microarchitectural deterioration, and a decline in bone quality, which increase vulnerability to fracture (1). It is a silent disease until a fracture occurs. Approximately 71% of osteoporotic fractures in people aged 50 years and older occur in women (2). Individuals with osteoporosis and an elevated or high risk of fracture can be identified through screening and risk assessment. Bone loss can be slowed or prevented with pharmacologic therapy.
