ResumoChina has about one fifth of the world population and this is a large number.The year 2000 census revealed that the total population in China was 1,295,330,000.People over 65 years old reached 88,110,000,6.96 per cent of the total population.To know this large population number is very important to the bone and mineral research and the prevention of osteoporosis.With reference to the osteoporosis diagnostic criteria for white women by World Health Organization(WHO)in 1994 and the osteoporosis diagnostic guidelines by Japanese Bone Mineral Society,and based on the abundant data of average bone density in Hip neck and L 2-4 measured by DEXA in recent 5 years and more than 40,000 data of bone density in forearm 1/3 by SPA in 1980's,the diagnostic guideline for our Chinese people are suggested as follows:Compared with the local peak bone density of the same sex,bone loss rate between 1%-12% is normal,13%-24% is osteopenia,over 25% is osteoporosis and over 37% is severe osteoporosis.According to DEXA results in connection with population census in 2000,patients with primary osteoporosis account for approximately 6.97% of the total population.Women over 60 years old have either postmenopause osteoporosis or senile osteoporosis whereas men over 75 have only senile osteoporosis.
