  骨质疏松症增加骨折风险

  Osteoporosis Increases Danger of Broken Bones

  VOICE ONE:

  This is SCIENCE IN THE NEWS, in VOA Special English. I'm Barbara Klein.

  VOICE TWO:

  And I'm Bob Doughty. Today we tell about osteoporosis, a disease that can make bones weak so they break easily.

  (MUSIC)

  VOICE ONE:

  Osteoporosis is a silent disease until it develops. If you do not know you have it, it can hurt you.

  A fifty-five year-old American woman named Jill went skiing several years ago. Although she was a good skier, she fell on a difficult hill. She attempted to get up, but could not move one leg. She was taken to a hospital, where doctors found she had broken a bone in her upper leg. And there was another discovery in the hospital. She had osteoporosis.

  Today, Jill still goes skiing. But now she takes medicine to protect against osteoporosis.

  VOICE TWO:

  Like Jill, many people do not know they have osteoporosis unless they break a bone. Or, they may find that they are getting shorter.

  Osteoporosis can make it hard for a person to stand up straight if the disease is untreated for a long time. When it has progressed very far, walking can be difficult. Severe osteoporosis in older adults can take away their independence.
