Abstract:
In the diagnosis of primary osteoporosis,the secondary osteoporosis should be excluded first because it covers many kinds of diseases.At this point,the differential diagnosis is required and a wide variety of knowledge of internal medicine is prior to all others.Bone mineral density measurement is only one of the references for the diagnosis of primary osteoporosis instead of being the unique criterion.
