Projection of osteoporosis-related fractures and costs in China: 2010–2050

Abstract: Our study demonstrated that osteoporosis-related fractures cause a substantial economic burden which will markedly increase over the coming decades. Consequently, healthcare resource planning must consider these increasing costs, and cost-effective screening and intervention policies must urgently be identified in an attempt to minimize the impact of fractures on the health of the burgeoning population as well as the healthcare budget.

“…China has one of the most rapidly ageing populations: the proportion of the elderly in China is projected to be a quarter of its total population by 2050 3 . Inevitably, the rising disease and economic burden of osteoporotic fractures will challenge the sustainability of the Chinese healthcare system 4 .…”

“…By 2050, half of the world's fractures will occur in Asia and mainly in China with osteoporotic fractures to reach an estimated 5.99 million. Females sustain four times the number of fractures than males [5]. Osteoporotic fractures may cause pain [6], decrease physical function, and limit daily activities [7] and lead to social isolation and emotional distress [8,9].…”
