抑郁症与老年性骨质疏松之间的相关性

抑郁症与骨质疏松症是严重影响老年群体身心健康的常见疾病,随着人口老龄化趋势的加剧,二者的发病率逐年增长。老年人各组织器官开始衰老、功能逐渐退化,机体内环境发生改变,各种不良因素的交互叠加,导致骨代谢紊乱,骨吸收大于骨形成,造成骨量丢失。抑郁症属于精神心理系统疾患,近年来随着研究的不断深入,发现与骨质疏松症的发生密切相关。本文通过总结分析近几年国内外在这方面取得的最新研究进展,就抑郁症与老年性骨质疏松症之间的相关性展开综述,从而有针对性地对这两种疾病进行早期干预,对降低不良事件的发生,改善老年患者临床症状,提高晚年生活质量具有积极意义。

Relationship between depression and senile osteoporosis

Depression and osteoporosis are both the most common diseases that seriously affect the physical and mental health of the elderly. As the population ages, the incidence of both is increasing year by year. The decline of organs, the deterioration of function and the changes in the internal environment together cause a disorder of bone metabolism, which ultimately leads to the loss of bone mass. Depression is a mental illness. With the deepening of research on the disease, it has been found that depression has a very close relationship with osteoporosis. This paper summarizes and analyzes the recent research progress in depression and osteoporosis in China and abroad in recent years, and reviews the correlation between depression and senile osteoporosis. Therefore, targeted early intervention of the two diseases could have a positive significance for reducing the occurrence of adverse events, improving the clinical symptoms of elderly patients, and improving the quality of life in old age.
