Investigating the psychosocial and socioeconomic predictors of osteoporosis

骨质疏松症被列为第七个国家卫生优先事项，因为认识到骨质疏松性骨折对生活质量的巨大影响和更大的死亡风险。除少数例外，社会弱势群体的健康状况往往较差。然而，人们对骨质疏松症的社会心理和社会经济决定因素以及预防保健的障碍知之甚少。该项目将为未来针对高危人群的健康促进信息提供信息。

Osteoporosis is ranked the 7th national health priority, in recognition of the enormous impact on quality of life and greater risk of mortality following osteoporotic fracture. With few exceptions, socially disadvantaged individuals tend to have poorer health outcomes. However, little is known of psychosocial and socioeconomic determinants of osteoporosis, and barriers to preventive healthcare. This project will inform future health promotion messages targeted toward those most at risk.
