Osteoporosis is a metabolic disease. According to the "White Paper on the Prevention and Treatment of Osteoporosis in China", China is currently the world's largest country in terms of osteoporosis, with nearly half of the world's more than 200 million patients suffering from osteoporosis. But many people believe that osteoporosis is a disease that only elderly people can suffer from, and it is not a major illness. But in fact, this is not the case. The age at which osteoporosis occurs is gradually decreasing, and it is no longer the "patent" of the elderly. And it is very easy to cause falls, fractures, height reduction, and even death in severe cases. However, less than 1/10 of people in China are aware of osteoporosis, and the number of people who have undergone bone density testing is even smaller.

After the age of 30, bone mass will begin to lose
Skeletons are composed of inorganic substances such as calcium and phosphorus, as well as organic matter. As the largest organ in the human body, strong bones protect our internal organs like iron walls. If we compare our bones to banks, our assets peak around the age of 30, and plummet after the age of 50. The incidence of osteoporosis in the population aged 50 and above in China is close to 1/51. If you don't deposit enough money in the bank early, as you age, your bones will have more "liabilities" and you won't be able to provide enough "pension".

Data shows that osteoporotic fractures pose a significant risk. If a hip fracture occurs, about 20% of patients die from various complications within one year, about 50% of survivors may become disabled, and half of them may also experience a second fracture. In addition, fractures can also bring serious economic losses to patients and their families, with a direct medical cost of approximately 30000 yuan for a hip fracture.
