It is increasingly recognized that osteoporosis affects children as well as adults both as a primary problem and as secondary to various diseases, medications, and lifestyle issues. In this review, we emphasize the correct diagnosis of osteoporosis in children as opposed to adults, etiology, and pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical treatments. We especially focus on rheumatologic conditions associated with osteoporosis and management issues.
人们越来越认识到，骨质疏松症不仅影响成人，也影响儿童，既可以是原发性疾病，也可以是各种疾病、药物和生活方式问题的继发症。在这篇综述中，我们强调了儿童骨质疏松症的正确诊断与成人不同，包括病因、药物和非药物治疗。我们特别关注与骨质疏松症相关的风湿性疾病和治疗管理问题。
