Abstract:

Fragility fracture is a common bone disease in middle-aged and elderly people in China, and it is also the most serious consequence of osteoporosis. Due to its high morbidity, high disability and death rate, and high medical costs, it has seriously affected the quality of life of the elderly in China and caused a heavy burden to patients, families, and society. The social risk of fragility fracture is increasing with the aggravation of social aging and has become a huge challenge for China to build a healthy elderly society. This article discusses the characteristics, epidemiology, risk factors, prevention, and treatment of fragility fractures, in order to summarize the experience and provide assistance for future treatment and research.

Key words: Aged, Fragility fractures, Prevention
