Abstract: Stroke has become the first cause of death and disability in Chinese adults, which is characterized by high incidence rate, high recurrence rate, high disability rate, high mortality and high economic burden. Osteoporosis or bone loss are common after stroke, and decreased bone density may also be a risk factor for ischemic stroke. Although the correlation between the two has been confirmed, the underlying mechanism is not yet fully understood. This article reviews the association between the decreased bone density and stroke, as well as the screening and treatment of osteoporosis in stroke survivors.
