| Osteoporosis is characterized by a decrease in bone strength and bone density, and increased risk for fractures, resulting in disbility and decreased quality of life. Not only the diagnosis rate of osteoporosis is low, but also the treatment and care of osteoporotic fractures bring huge family, social and economic burdens. Thus prevention is especially important. Early identification and screening for high-risk populations of osteoporosis, early intervention in high-risk populations of osteoporosis from microscopic and macroscopic systems, could reduce osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures. This article briefly describes the importance of osteoporosis prevention, reviews risk screening methods for high-risk populations of osteoporosis in the community, and prevention strategies for high-risk groups of osteoporosis in the community. |
