What this trial studies

This observational study aims to gather epidemiological data on osteoporosis among the elderly population in Shandong Province. It will assess the prevalence of osteoporosis and identify associated risk factors within the community. Additionally, the study will explore the significance of biochemical indexes of bone metabolism in diagnosing and predicting outcomes for osteoporosis in hospitalized patients. The findings will contribute to a comprehensive database and aim to enhance understanding of osteoporosis in this demographic.
