OBJECTIVE
To describe the public health impact of osteoporosis including the magnitude of the problem and important consequences of osteoporotic fractures.
METHODS
Literature review of key references selected by author.
RESULTS
Current demographic trends leading to an increased number of individuals surviving past age 65 will result in an increased number of osteoporotic fractures. Important consequences of osteoporotic fractures include an increased mortality that for hip fractures extends to 10 years after the fracture. Increased mortality risk also extends to major and minor fractures, especially, in those over 75 years. Hip and vertebral fractures have important functional consequences and reductions in quality of life. The economic impact of osteoporotic fractures is large and growing. Significant health care resources are required for all fractures.
CONCLUSIONS
To alleviate the public and private burden of osteoporosis related fractures, assessment of risk and reduction of individual risk is critical.
目的
描述骨质疏松症对公共健康的影响，包括问题的严重程度和骨质疏松性骨折的重要后果。
方法
作者对选定的关键参考文献进行文献回顾。
结果
当前导致超过 65 岁的人群数量增加的人口趋势将导致骨质疏松性骨折的数量增加。骨质疏松性骨折的重要后果包括死亡率增加，髋部骨折患者的死亡率在骨折后 10 年内仍会持续增加。高风险人群还包括年龄较大的人群，尤其是 75 岁以上的人群，他们的骨折风险也会增加。髋部和脊柱骨折会导致重要的功能后果和生活质量下降。骨质疏松性骨折的经济影响巨大且呈上升趋势。所有骨折都需要大量的医疗保健资源。
结论
为了减轻与骨质疏松症相关骨折给公众和私人带来的负担，评估风险和降低个体风险至关重要。
