时差N小时 骨质疏松知多少(下)

While osteoporosis is treatable, it's not curable, so early detection really is key.

And hip fractures, especially, are very difficult to recover from-they're linked with a major deterioration³ in the person's health,

而髋关节骨折尤其最难恢复，它与患者的健康状况恶化有很大关系,

to the point that about a quarter of folks over fifty who fracture their hips⁴ don't survive one year.

超过50名髋关节骨折患者中大约四分之一的人活不过1年时间。

Treating all those fractures adds up.
