The aging of the population is associated with an increasing burden of fractures worldwide. However, the epidemiological features of fractures in mainland China are not well known.

Prevalence of Osteoporosis and Fracture in China: The China Osteoporosis Prevalence Study.

Despite the fact that China amounts to one-fifth of the world's population, has a higher proportion of the elderly, and has a higher prevalence of osteoporosis and fracture, limited studies have investigated the association between dietary patterns and bone mineral density (BMD) as well as fracture risk among the elderly Chinese population. We aimed to investigate the association between different dietary patterns and BMD as well as the risk of fractures, and this association may vary between elderly women and men.

Associations of different dietary patterns, bone mineral density, and fracture risk among elderly women: the China Osteoporosis Prevalence Study.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common, highly disabling degenerative osteoarthropathy among middle-aged and elderly people. Moxibustion has been widely used in the treatment of KOA and exerts effects through multiple pathways with remarkable curative effects. This paper retrieved the relevant literature on moxibustion in the treatment of KOA at home and abroad in the past 10 years. After sorting and summarizing, it elaborated on the effective mechanisms of moxibustion from aspects such as inhibiting inflammatory responses, promoting the repair of joint tissues, regulating immunity and gut microbiota. Based on the current research, it also carried out thinking and prospects, aiming to provide references for relevant mechanism research in the future.
