The National Institutes of Health says roughly 40 million people in the United States suffer from, or are at high risk for, osteoporosis, a condition that decreases bone mass and often results in fractures in the spine, hips, and wrists. As VOA’s Kane Farabaugh reports, while older women are more likely to develop the disease, it was a surprise to one man in the Chicago suburbs who had built a life on running and was at risk of being sidelined after his diagnosis.
美国国立卫生研究院称，美国有将近4000万人患有骨质疏松症，或处于患有骨质疏松症的高度危险中。骨质疏松症会降低骨量并导致脊柱、盆骨以及腰椎骨折。美国之声记者凯恩·法拉博带回报道称，高龄妇女患骨质疏松症的风险更高，而芝加哥郊区的一位以跑步为生的男子在诊断出患有骨质疏松症后，有可能会被停赛。
