Abstract:
Osteoporosis is a chronic disease influenced by multiple factors.The fractures associated with osteoporosis are known as osteoporotic fractures.The factors associated with osteoporosis and fracture include oxygen concentration,sunshine,body mass,gender,age,trauma,dietary habits,tobacco and alcohol use,medical history and inheritance.Factors such as oxygen concentration,topography and dietary habits play a more important role in the western plateau areas in China than in the plain areas.The present study reviews the clinical research on the osteoporosis and fracture risks in the plateau areas in China and proposes prevention and treatment measurements for the risk factors to reduce the incidences of osteoporosis and fracture in the plateau areas.
