[Expert consensus on establishing a three-level system for prevention and control osteoporosis in the elderly in China].

Osteoporosis is a chronic disease with high morbidity, but low cognitive rate, and low diagnosis and treatment rate. Osteoporotic fracture, a serious complication with high treatment cost and causing high disability and mortality rate, has become an important health problem affecting elderly people. To improve the whole society's awareness of bone health, and clarify the position of medical institutions at all levels in the process of prevention and control of osteoporosis, the expert consensus on establishing a three-level system for prevention and control osteoporosis in the elderly is issued. In the system, strategies including prevention first, combination of prevention and treatment, stratified diagnosis and treatment, and full-cycle management are applied aiming to integrate medical resources, and reduce the occurrences of osteoporosis and its fractures effectively. It is of great significance for the healthy China program.骨质疏松症患病率高、认知率低、诊断治疗率低，其严重并发症骨质疏松性骨折治疗费用高、致残率及病死率高，严重影响老年人的身心健康。建立老年骨质疏松症的三级防控体系，采取预防为主、防治结合、分层诊疗、全周期管理的策略，提高全社会对骨骼健康知识的认知，明确各级医疗机构在骨质疏松防治中的定位，整合医疗资源，降低骨质疏松症及其骨折的危害，对实现健康中国战略具有重大意义。.
