SES is a determinant of osteoporosis ：How much do we know?

随着人口老龄化,骨质疏松成为不断增长的公共卫生挑战之一.社会经济地位是公共卫生的一个决定性因素.在此,我们对社会经济地位在骨质疏松上的影响做了一个文献综述.结果显示,较低社会经济地位者总体上具有较高的骨质疏松发病率,并且较难获取优质治疗服务.虽然研究已展示社会经济地位与骨质疏松流行状况,预防及治疗之间的明确联系,但其广度和深度有限.未来的研究有必要深入到收入和教育这两个常规方便的社会经济地位指标之外的范畴,以便扩展我们对此问题的认识.

SES is a determinant of osteoporosis: How much do we know?

Osteoporosis is becoming an increasing public health challenge as our population ages. Socioeconomic status (SES) is a major determinant of public health. Here, we conducted a literature review to investigate the influence of SES on osteoporosis. The result revealed that people with lower SES generally had higher incidence of osteoperosis and were less likely to obtain good care for the disease. While studies demonstrated a clear association between SES and osteoporosis prevalence, prevention, and treatment, the scope and depth of the research were limited. Future studies beyond education and income, the two convenient paradigms of SES, are necessary to expand our knowledge on this issue.
