Abstract:
With the increasing aging population, the number of elderly patients suffering from fractures is also on the rise.Fractures not only cause significant suffering for patients but also impose a considerable economic and social burden on society.The primary causes of fractures in the elderly include osteoporosis, muscle weakness, impaired balance and proprioception, and cognitive frailty.Exercise interventions have been shown to increase bone mineral density, reduce the incidence of osteoporosis, enhance muscle strength, improve balance, and delay cognitive decline, thereby mitigating the risk of fractures among older adults.This article aims to explore the risk factors associated with fractures in the elderly and the mechanisms through which exercise interventions influence these risks, thereby offering a novel strategy for the prevention of fractures in older adults from the perspective of exercise interventions.
