The increasing impact of bone and joint disorders on patients and healthcare systems, and an awareness that resources need to be more efficiently used, led to arrangements for a Consensus Meeting. This was held in Sweden in April 1998 and ended in an agreement to launch a Decade of Bone and Joint from 2000 to 2010. The aims of the Decade will be to raise awareness of the suffering and cost to society of musculoskeletal disorders such as joint diseases, osteoporosis, spinal disorders and severe trauma, and encourage research and development throughout the world.
骨骼和关节疾病对患者及医疗保健系统的影响日益增大，同时人们也意识到需要更有效地利用资源，这促成了一次共识会议的安排。该会议于1998年4月在瑞典举行，会议最终达成协议，决定从2000年至2010年发起“骨骼与关节十年”活动。该十年活动的目标是提高人们对诸如关节疾病、骨质疏松症、脊柱疾病和严重创伤等肌肉骨骼疾病给社会带来的痛苦和成本的认识，并鼓励全球范围内的研究与开发。
