Racial and ethnic disparities in bone health and outcomes in the United States

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research Aug 07, 2021

Noel SE, Santos MP, Wright NC, et al. - Despite the fact that there have been few studies on bone and fracture outcomes in Asian and Hispanic populations, findings indicate that there are differences in bone outcomes between non-Hispanic White (NHW), non-Hispanic Black (NHB), Asian, and Hispanic populations.

  • BMD, osteoporosis prevalence, fracture prevalence and incidence, post-fracture outcomes, DXA screening, and osteoporosis treatments were all examined.

  • NHB, Asian, and Hispanic populations may have suboptimal osteoporosis management and post-fracture care, though more population-based research is needed.

  • There is also evidence that variation in BMD and osteoporosis exist within major racial and ethnic groups, emphasizing the importance of research in specific groups based on origin or background.

  • Although it is clear that future quantitative and qualitative research in these populations should be prioritized, initial strategies for addressing bone health disparities are discussed.
