Abstract:
The development of primary-level prevention and control of osteoporosis in China has started relatively late, and the effectiveness of standardized prevention and control at the grassroots level requires further improvement. Observational and cross-sectional studies focused on postmenopausal women with osteoporosis vertebral fracture in community settings reveal issues such as low screening rates, low awareness, low diagnosis rates, and low treatment rates. These findings highlight the importance of addressing osteoporosis prevention and treatment at the community level. In response, 15 experts from across the country engaged in an intensive discussion on how to enhance the basic management of primary osteoporosis and promote multilevel referral. This article summarizes the discussion.
