Prevalence of osteoporotic vertebral fracture among community-dwelling elderly in Shanghai

摘要To the Editor:Osteoporosis is becoming a common,serious,and costly health problem,which causes over nine million fractures annually worldwide.[1] Currently,osteoporotic fractures are a considerable burden to public health services and have fairly high morbidity and mortality.[2] Vertebral fractures are the most common osteoporotic fracture and may lead to a high risk of further fracture and could be prevalent in both females and males.[3] Ling et al[4] and Ms.OS studies[5] evaluated the prevalence of vertebral fractures in Beijing and Hong Kong,respectively.However,our knowledge of the descriptive epidemiology and risk factors for vertebral fracture in China still remains poor.
