骨质疏松症和骨质疏松性骨折仍然是世界范围内的重大公共卫生挑战。最近，与老年人骨质疏松有关的虚弱的概念越来越被接受，新出现的研究将虚弱作为骨质疏松性骨折的预测因素。在这篇综述中，我们回顾了脆弱与骨质疏松症的关系，描述了测量脆弱程度的方法，并提出了研究老年人骨质疏松和脆弱的研究现状和未来的研究方向。结论：测量老年人的虚弱程度有助于在临床研究水平和卫生保健政策水平上对骨质疏松和骨质疏松性骨折进行评估、管理和决策。
Osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures remain significant public health challenges worldwide. Recently the concept of frailty in relation to osteoporosis in the elderly has been increasingly accepted, with emerging studies measuring frailty as a predictor of osteoporotic fractures. In this overview, we reviewed the relationship between frailty and osteoporosis, described the approaches to measuring the grades of frailty, and presented current studies and future research directions investigating osteoporosis and frailty in the elderly. It is concluded that measuring the grades of frailty in the elderly could assist in the assessment, management and decision-making for osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures at a clinical research level and at a health care policy level.
