A self-administrated questionnaire was performed to clarify the actual circumstances of community-based screening for osteoporosis. The results revealed that only 25 percent of communities performed follow-up of high-risk participants, representing a disappointing result for assessing evidence of the benefits of measuring bone mineral density in preventing osteoporosis. Secondly, a review of the literature was performed to clarify the benefits of measuring bone mineral density in preventing osteoporosis. The review revealed that increased measurements could predict fractures among elderly and peri- and postmenopausal women, and elderly men.
为了弄清楚基于社区的骨质疏松症筛查的实际情况，开展了一项自填式问卷调查。结果显示，只有25%的社区对高危参与者进行了随访，这对于评估测量骨密度在预防骨质疏松症方面的益处的证据来说是一个令人失望的结果。其次，进行了文献综述，以阐明测量骨密度在预防骨质疏松症方面的益处。综述显示，增加测量可以预测老年女性、绝经前后女性以及老年男性的骨折情况。
