Osteoporosis in adults has been defined on the basis of densitometric criteria, but at present the term osteoporosis does not have a widely recognized definition in pediatrics. Consequently, the International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) 2007 Position Development Conference reviewed the literature describing the relationship between bone densitometric studies and fractures in apparently healthy children and adolescents, and prepared Official Positions regarding the definition of osteoporosis in children and adolescents. The ISCD Official Positions with respect to the above issues, as well as the rationale and evidence used to derive these positions, are presented here.
成人骨质疏松症已根据骨密度测量标准进行定义,但目前“骨质疏松症”一词在儿科学领域尚无广泛认可的定义。因此,国际临床骨密度测量学会(ISCD)2007年立场发展会议回顾了描述明显健康的儿童和青少年骨密度测量研究与骨折之间关系的文献,并制定了关于儿童和青少年骨质疏松症定义的官方立场。本文介绍了ISCD关于上述问题的官方立场,以及得出这些立场的基本原理和证据。
