       Osteoporosis is a multifactorial chronic disease that is particularly prevalent in postmenopausal women and older men. With the increase of the elderly population in China, the incidence of osteoporosis is on the rise and is a health concern in China and globally.  Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease characterized by a decrease in bone mass and destruction of the microstructure of bone, manifested by an increase in the brittleness of bone, which leads to a greatly increased risk of fracture, even with minor trauma or without trauma, and usually without specific clinical manifestations until the fracture occurs. In addition, osteoporosis can cause pain, fractures, and skeletal deformities in older adults, and the risk of hip fracture from osteoporosis is higher for women than the combined risk of breast, cervical, uterine, and ovarian cancers.  At present, there are three main modes of treatment for osteoporosis: Western medicine, Chinese medicine and combined Chinese and Western medicine. The main western drugs used in clinical practice are miscible calcium and sodium allantoin phosphate. Chinese medicine preparations include Bone Spirit Tablets and Kidney Bone Strengthener Punch, etc. However, the treatment of osteoporosis has progressed from the treatment of delaying the onset and deterioration of osteoporosis to the treatment of actively restoring bone health.  Prevention of osteoporosis should be given attention at a young age, with attention to calcium and vitamin supplementation.
