Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Humans can move, walk, run, work and play because our musculoskeletal system works. However, once the system breaks down, not only our activity but also our quality-of-life can deteriorate significantly. A number of skeletal disorders such as osteoporosis, fracture, bone cancers, and osteoarthritis negatively affect the skeletal system. In addition, other bone diseases, which are caused by poor nutrition, genetics, or problems with the rate of bone growth or rebuilding can also greatly damage the system. As a result, all these diseases shorten the healthy life expectancy of human which quantifies the number of years expected to be lived in good health. To overcome this problem, researchers in the field of skeletal diseases are encouraged to submit an original article or review to this Special Issue (case reports and short reviews are not accepted). Especially, we are welcome to have an research regarding to the impact of skeletal disease on quality-of-life and/or healthy life expectancy.
