Sex- and Age-Specific Prevalence of Osteopenia and Osteoporosis: Sampling Survey

CONCLUSIONS: Our data imply that as people age, osteopenia and osteoporosis are more common in females than in males, particularly in postmenopausal females than in premenopausal females, and bone mineral density significantly affects the prevalence of chronic diseases. These findings offer information that can be applied to intervention programs meant to prevent or lessen the burden of osteoporosis in China.PMID:38578689 | DOI:10.2196/48947
