Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a very common senile disease, with a high incidence rate in women over 60 years old, and Chinese people are prone to it. Its main complication is fracture. The fracture rate of women aged 50 to 70 can be 10 times higher than that of young women, which can reduce the quality of life and self-care ability, and even shorten life expectancy.
