Abstract
- Considering the aging population, longer life expectancy, and many dramatic changes in people's lifestyles during recent years in China, although the prevalence of postmenopausal osteoporosis in China remains lower than that of other industrialized countries, future studies are needed and more effort should be made to increase Chinese people's awareness regarding osteoporosis and to promote good bone health.
