背景：尽管非裔美国女性的骨质疏松症患病率较低。她们仍然面临风险，在髋部骨折后，她们的死亡率比白人女性更高。在非裔美国女性中可能会出现对危险因素的缺乏认识，这增加了筛查实践中可能存在差异的可能性。目的：确定在绝经后、有风险的非裔美国女性和白人女性中，医生对骨质疏松症的筛查是否存在差异。方法：我们在一家城市学术医院和一家郊区社区医院进行了回顾性图表审查。研究对象包括205名非裔美国人和白人女性，年龄65岁，体重
BACKGROUND: Despite a lower prevalence of osteoporosis in African-American women. they remain at risk and experience a greater mortality than white women after sustaining a hip fracture.
