Osteoporosis literally means porous bone.
骨質疏松從字面意思上講就是骨組織疏松癥狀。
Osteoporosis is characterized by loss of bone density and the deterioration of bone tissue, which makes bones fragile and more likely to fracture.
骨質疏松的特點是骨質密度喪失及骨組織惡化,從而使得骨骼脆弱,更易斷裂。
The important thing about osteoporosis is figuring out whether you've got it before you injure yourself.
而對于這種疾病最重要的一點就是在你弄傷自己前搞清楚你是否已經骨質疏松。
And that's pretty easy to do:there's a specialized test that measures bone density, and based on its results, doctors can prescribe various medications to slow the disease down.
很容易就可以進行檢測:接受專門的骨密度測試,而醫生根據結果可以給你開各種藥物以延緩疾病。
