Asian women should be more emphasis on osteoporosis-related treatment (vitamins)

By the well-known pharmaceutical company Merck Sharp & Dohme implementation of this retrospective observational study of 1122 women, conducted face to face conversations and telephone interviews to assess their impact on osteoporosis, bone density screening and osteoporosis treatment cognition. The study in Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, China, China Taiwan and Hong Kong and other seven countries and regions, study the average age of 72.9 years.

 

Survey, 48.5% of respondents Zengyin brittle fracture hospitalization, but did not realize that if they were suffering from osteoporosis. The brittle fracture by the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) as a diagnosis of osteoporosis is one indication.

 

The survey, 576 respondents were diagnosed as suffering from osteoporosis, accounting for 51.5% of the total, but only 8.1% of patients received drug treatment for osteoporosis, 26.5% of the patients intake of vitamin supplement agent, 24.9% of patients received drug treatment only another intake of vitamin supplements, but as high as 40.5% of the patients had no treatment.

 

The main person in charge of this research, said Professor Gong Huici, the study recorded the treatment of patients with fracture gaps, and make people aware of concerns in Asia and the urgency of this serious disease.

 

Osteoporosis is a bone mineral density and bone strength to reduce disease. Place the risk of osteoporotic fracture increases with age. People over the age of 50, women who have one for every three people will experience an osteoporotic fracture, while the men are four people will have an experience.

 

International Osteoporosis Foundation figures show that over the past 30 years, most Asian countries and regions due to osteoporosis caused by the increased incidence of hip fracture by 2 to 3 times. According to forecasts, by 2050, the world's women, the incidence of hip fractures will increase by 240%, while the men, the incidence of hip fractures will increase by 310%. Of these, more than half of cases of hip fractures will occur in Asia.

 

International Osteoporosis Foundation therefore recommends that, in addition to other factors, there is a history of hip and vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women should consider accepting the treatment of osteoporosis-related. Clinched a post-menopausal women for the latest research shows that many Asian women, osteoporosis, difficulties encountered, but easy to ignore the relevant medical treatment. Studies suggest that Asian women should pay more attention to this serious disease.
