RESUMEN
Osteoporosis and chronic psychological stress are two serious chronic degenerative diseases that cause disability and impact population health. Patients with osteoporosis often present with heavier psychological burden, lower quality of life, and frequent symptoms of depression and anxiety. There are potential common pathogenic factors, cellular mechanisms and signaling pathways between them. Considering that the number of patient with these diseases is huge and growing rapidly, it is particularly important to explore the pathogenic link between these two diseases as well as cross-effect therapeutics for osteoporosis and mental health disorders.
RESUMEN
The Mediterranean diet refers to the dietary pattern derived from eating habits of the southern European countries along the Mediterranean coast. It is a healthy diet pattern with essential nutrients. It was reported that the incidence of osteoporosis in the Mediterranean countries is lower, so it is of particular interest to explore the effect and potential mechanism of the diet on bone health. Applying research results of the Mediterranean diet to the prevention of osteoporosis in other countries is a feasible way to reduce the incidence of osteoporosis in the future.
