According to the results of the epidemiological survey of osteoporosis in China in 2018, Osteoporosis has become an important health problem for people over 50 years old in China.The prevalence of osteoporosis in people aged 40-49 in China is 3.2%. The prevalence rate of osteoporosis among people over 50 years old is 19.2%, and the prevalence rate of women is significantly higher than that of European and American countries, and similar to that of Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea. The survey also found that< strong>There are a large number of people with low bone mass in my country, and they are high-risk groups for osteoporosis.

Unhealthy lifestyle and increasing age are the main reasons for the high incidence of osteoporosis. Unbalanced diet, sedentary lifestyle, too little sunshine, smoking, drinking, drug use and other factors not only affect the basic level of bone mass accumulation, but also lead to bone loss in middle-aged and old age. Increased risk of osteoporosis.

0-18 age group
“Foundation Stone”, pay attention to dietary nutrition, strengthen exercise, and reserve for the ideal peak bone mass, so that bone health is not lost on the starting line.
18-40 years old Section
“build the foundation”, exercise frequently, get more sun, maintain bone health, and strive to increase the peak bone mass.
40-65 age group
“Early Screening”, recognize and pay attention to osteoporosis, check bone density every year, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment.
65+ age group
“Bottom line” , strengthen strength and balance exercises, prevent falls and fracture hazards caused by falls.

“Healthy Bones” as “Three Health “heavy As an important part, the National Action Office of the National Healthy Lifestyle Action released the core information in September this year, advocating the whole population to pay attention to bones throughout the life cycle healthy.

Eating more calcium-rich foods and adequate intake of high-quality protein in daily life is necessary When taking calcium supplements. While supplementing calcium, sufficient vitamin D is also essential. Sun exposure can promote the synthesis of vitamin D in the body, thereby promoting the absorption of calcium in the intestine. It is recommended to expose the skin to the sun as much as possible for 15-30 minutes from 11 am to 3 pm.

Occurrence and basis of osteoporosis Bone mass accumulation is closely related to bone loss after aging. The mineral content in human bones reaches the highest peak bone mass around the age of 30. The higher the level of bone mass accumulation, the later the occurrence of osteoporosis in middle-aged and elderly people, and the milder the symptoms and severity. It is recommended that people over the age of 40 take a bone density test every year to understand their own bone density and pay attention to bone health.
