目标。描述骨质疏松症对公众健康的影响，包括问题的严重性和骨质疏松性骨折的重要后果。作者选择重点参考文献的文献综述。目前的人口趋势导致超过65岁的个体数量增加，这将导致骨质疏松性骨折的数量增加。骨质疏松性骨折的重要后果包括髋部骨折后10年死亡率的增加。大大小小的骨折也会增加死亡风险，尤其是75岁以上的人。髋部和椎体骨折具有重要的功能后果和生活质量的降低。骨质疏松性骨折的经济影响很大，而且还在不断增长。所有骨折都需要大量的卫生保健资源。为了减轻骨质疏松相关骨折的公共和个人负担，评估风险和降低个人风险至关重要。
Objective. To describe the public health impact of osteoporosis including the magnitude of the problem and important consequences of osteoporotic fractures.Methods. Literature review of key references selected by author.Results. Current demographic trends leading to an increased number of individuals surviving past age 65 will result in an increased number of osteoporotic fractures. Important consequences of osteoporotic fractures include an increased mortality that for hip fractures extends to 10 years after the fracture. Increased mortality risk also extends to major and minor fractures, especially, in those over 75 years. Hip and vertebral fractures have important functional consequences and reductions in quality of life. The economic impact of osteoporotic fractures is large and growing. Significant health care resources are required for all fractures.Conclusions. To alleviate the public and private burden of osteoporosis related fractures, assessment of risk and reduction of individual risk is critical.
