Osteoporosis is a serious public health concern. Skeletal fragility, leading to spine and hip fractures, is a major source of morbidity and mortality. Adequate calcium intake from childhood to the end of life is critical for the formation and retention of a healthy skeleton. It is important to prevent bone loss from occurring, to identify potential risk factors, and to correct them. Many genetic and lifestyle factors influence the risk for osteoporosis. Among these, diet is believed to be one of the most important, especially the roles of calcium and vitamin D. Deficiency in other dietary factors--eg, protein, vitamin K, vitamin A, phytoestrogens, and other nutrients--might also contribute to the risk for osteoporosis. In this article, the roles of diet and nutritional supplementation in preventing and treating osteoporosis are reviewed.
骨质疏松症是一个严重的公共卫生问题。骨骼脆弱会导致脊柱和髋部骨折，是发病和死亡的主要原因。从童年到生命结束，充足的钙摄入对于形成和维持健康的骨骼至关重要。预防骨质流失、识别潜在风险因素并加以纠正非常重要。许多遗传和生活方式因素会影响患骨质疏松症的风险。其中，饮食被认为是最重要的因素之一，尤其是钙和维生素D的作用。其他饮食因素的缺乏，如蛋白质、维生素K、维生素A、植物雌激素和其他营养素，也可能增加患骨质疏松症的风险。本文综述了饮食和营养补充剂在预防和治疗骨质疏松症中的作用。
