据估计,到下个世纪中叶,因骨质疏松所致的全球髋骨骨折人数增加3倍,将从1990年的170万人增加到2050年的630万人。目前,大多数髋骨骨折发生在欧洲和北美洲。未来50年的人口统计状况的改变将使亚洲、非洲和南美洲的老年人数量空前增多。因此,未来50年高达75％的髋骨骨折将发生在发展中国家。鉴于上述这些趋势,世界卫生组织总干事Gro Harlem Brundtland博士引证心血管疾病为例。Brundtland说,25年前,世界上著名的心血管病专家们对发展中国家即将发生的心脏病流行发出警告。但这一告诫被忽略了,而目前人们看到发展中国家的心血管疾
It is estimated that by the middle of the next century, the number of global hip fractures due to osteoporosis has tripled, from 1.7 million in 1990 to 6.3 million in 2050. At present, most hip fractures occur in Europe and North America. Changes in demographics over the next 50 years will result in an unprecedented increase in the number of seniors in Asia, Africa and South America. As a result, up to 75% of hip fractures in the next 50 years will occur in developing countries. In the light of these trends, Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland, WHO Director-General, cites cardiovascular disease as an example. Brundtland said 25 years ago, world-renowned cardiovascular experts warned of the impending heart attack in developing countries. But the caveat was ignored, and people are now seeing cardiovascular disease in developing countries
