Once regarded as an inevitable part of aging, osteoporosis and fracture risk are now recognized as preventable and treatable. Detecting fracture risk and preventing fractures are key intervention strategies. Comprehensive evaluation and treatment of individuals at risk include making the correct diagnosis, identifying correctable factors that can contribute to low bone mass and increased fracture risk, and treating at-risk patients with pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic therapies. Patients must employ sound nutrition practices and reduce the potential for injuries sustained in falls through exercise and environmental safeguards.
骨质疏松症和骨折风险曾被视为衰老不可避免的一部分，如今已被认为是可预防和可治疗的。检测骨折风险和预防骨折是关键的干预策略。对高危个体进行综合评估和治疗包括做出正确诊断，识别可能导致低骨量和骨折风险增加的可纠正因素，以及采用药物和非药物疗法治疗高危患者。患者必须采取合理的营养措施，并通过锻炼和环境安全保障措施降低跌倒受伤的可能性。
