Grade 1 Vertebral Fractures Identified by Densitometric Lateral Spine Imaging Predict Incident Major Osteoporotic Fracture Independently of Clinical Risk Factors and Bone Mineral Density in Older Women
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Bone and Mineral Research"
DOI: 10.1002/jbmr.4108
Abstract: Because prevalent vertebral fracture (VF) is a strong predictor of future fractures, they are important to identify in clinical practice as osteoporosis medications are effective and can be used to reduce fracture risk in postmenopausal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2020.115433
Abstract: BACKGROUND Obese older adults have higher bone mineral density (BMD), but other characteristics of obesity may predispose these individuals to fracture. We aimed to compare clinical risk factors for incident fracture in obese and non-obese… read more here.
