Alimentary osteopathies are classified into primary (with food deficient of Ca, vitamin "D", or of proteins) and secondary ones, that develop consequent to disturbed assimilation and absorption of these substances. Basic causes responsible for the development of alimentary osteopathies are listed and the pathogenesis of this malady is considered. The osteopathies are classified with respect to their causes, the prevalent form (osteoporosis, osteomalacia, or mixed forms) and according to the severity of the skeletal affection (latent stage, that of clinical manifestation and the stage with complications). A review of modern methods of diagnosis and therapy in dealing with alimentary osteopathies by using calcium, vitamin "D" and fluorine, as well as by applying other remedies (thyrocalcitonin, estrogens, androgens, anabolic hormones, diphosphonates) or measures (exercises, rehabilitation) is presented.
营养性骨病分为原发性(由钙、维生素D或蛋白质缺乏的食物引起)和继发性骨病,后者是由于这些物质的同化和吸收紊乱而产生的。列出了导致营养性骨病发生的基本原因,并探讨了这种疾病的发病机制。这些骨病根据其病因、主要形式(骨质疏松症、骨软化症或混合形式)以及骨骼病变的严重程度(潜伏阶段、临床表现阶段和并发症阶段)进行分类。本文综述了现代诊断和治疗营养性骨病的方法,包括使用钙、维生素D和氟,以及应用其他药物(降钙素、雌激素、雄激素、同化激素、双膦酸盐)或措施(运动、康复)。
