Aging is associated with a loss of bone mass and an increased risk of oral and systemic bone loss. Systemic osteoporosis can result in bone fractures, especially of the spine and hip, with the characteristic spinal curvature and loss of height often seen in osteoporotic postmenopausal women. Loss of teeth and ridge resorption can occur in the mouth.
衰老与骨量流失以及口腔和全身骨质流失风险增加有关。全身性骨质疏松可导致骨折，尤其是脊柱和髋部骨折，绝经后骨质疏松女性常出现典型的脊柱侧弯和身高降低。口腔中会发生牙齿脱落和牙槽嵴吸收。
