One-third of women over age 65 will have vertebral fractures, and the li fe-time risk ofhip fracture in white women (15%) is as great as that ofbreast, endometrial, and ovarian cancer combined. The life-time risk of hip fracture in men (5%) is as great as the risk of prostate cancer. Hip fracture is fatal in up to 20% of cases. One-half of survivors are unable to walk unassisted and 25% are confined to long-term ca re in nursing hornes. The recent awareness that osteo porosis is a treatable and partly preventable disease of the elderly, and not just the inevitable consequence of ageing, comes at a time of rapid progress in measurement of bone mass and in a better understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of bone cell function. | | 出版日期 | Book 1990 | | 关键词 | osteoporosis | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-010-9580-8 | | isbn_softcover | 978-94-010-9582-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-010-9580-8 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1990 |
