Research progress of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated with osteoporosis
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common chronic respiratory disease in clinic.The majority of patients with COPD are elderly subjects.COPD is often associated with a variety of dis-eases,including osteoporosis (OP),cardiovascular disease,muscular dystrophy,anxiety and depression,and lung cancer.The prevalence rate of OP in elderly patients with COPD is relatively high,and there are many risk factors associated with OP in COPD.Its pathogenesis and treatment need further study.In this paper,the risk factors,possible pathogenesis and related treatment of the disease were discussed in order to provide ideas for its prevention and treatment.
