With the increasing life expectancy, osteoporosis is becoming a major worldwide health problem. The magnitude of the disease may become larger in developing countries, more particularly in the Middle East region where the prevalence of low bone mass is higher than in western countries. Although several local organizations and countries have developed guidelines for osteoporosis, no previous regional guidelines have been developed encompassing all Middle-Eastern and North African countries. The present document reviews all the regional published data on bone mineral density, risk factors, fracture prevalence and vitamin D status. It also gives simple recommendations applicable to all these countries. This document was endorsed by leading members of all the different regional countries including, Iran, Egypt, Tunisia, Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Oman, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
随着预期寿命的增加，骨质疏松症正成为一个全球性的主要健康问题。在发展中国家，尤其是中东地区，该疾病的影响可能会更大，因为该地区低骨量的患病率高于西方国家。尽管一些当地组织和国家已经制定了骨质疏松症指南，但此前尚未制定涵盖所有中东和北非国家的区域指南。本文件回顾了该地区所有已发表的关于骨密度、风险因素、骨折患病率和维生素D状况的数据。它还给出了适用于所有这些国家的简单建议。本文件得到了包括伊朗、埃及、突尼斯、约旦、巴勒斯坦、叙利亚、伊拉克、利比亚、阿曼、科威特、沙特阿拉伯和巴林在内的所有不同区域国家主要成员的认可。
