摘要
Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease characterized by low bone density and poor bone quality that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures. Serious consequences of fractures include disability, loss of independence, and death. Despite the availability of clinical tools to evaluate fracture risk and medications to reduce fracture risk, many or most patients at risk, even those with a recent fracture, are not being treated. This represents a large osteoporosis treatment gap that has reached a crisis level. Importantly, the treatment gap is not evenly distributed among populations of different race/ethnicity. Black women are less likely to have bone density testing when indicated, are less likely to be treated, and have worse outcomes after a fracture than White women. This is a review and update of race-based disparities and inequalities, with suggestions for interventions to optimize patient care.
