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.
