美国一项最新研究表明,联合补充维生素D及某些食物可以预防衰老相关的骨质疏松。据估计有1000万名50岁以上的美国人患有骨质疏松症,这种疾病的标志就是骨质量低以及骨组织的逐步恶化。骨质疏松有增加骨折、失去生理功能、降低生活质量甚至死亡的风险。另外还有4400万美国人骨密度较低,这也增加了他们发生骨折的风险。 A new study in the United States shows that the combination of vitamin D and certain foods can prevent aging-related osteoporosis. An estimated 10 million Americans over the age of 50 suffer from osteoporosis, a hallmark of the disease, which is low bone mass and progressive deterioration of bone tissue. Osteoporosis increases the risk of fractures, loss of physical function, quality of life, and even death. Another 44 million Americans have lower bone mineral density, which adds to the risk of fractures.
