DOI: 10.1002/jbmr.3347
Abstract: The aim of this prospective study was to use high‐resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR‐pQCT) to determine if baseline skeletal parameters can predict incident fragility fracture in women and, secondly, to establish if women that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00198-017-4206-x
Abstract: SummaryWe evaluated gender imbalance in osteoporosis management in a provincial coordinator-based fracture prevention program and found no difference by gender in treatment of high-risk fragility fracture patients. This establishes that a systemic approach with interventions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00198-018-04828-0
Abstract: SummarySarcopenia is a common geriatric syndrome characterized by progressive decrease of muscle mass and function leading to an increased risk of physical disability, poor quality of life, and mortality. Increasing evidence shows that sarcopenia is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00198-018-4559-9
Abstract: SummaryIn spite of being a public health problem of pandemic proportions, osteoporosis continues to be underdiagnosed and undertreated especially in older adults with fragility fractures. Confirmation of this hypothesis resulted in the development of a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00198-021-06205-w
Abstract: This study highlights an unmet need in osteoporosis management, suggesting that beyond bone mineral density and fracture history, gender, fracture type, and age should be considered for fracture risk assessment. Following fragility fracture, men, patients… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00198-022-06308-y
Abstract: Macro- and microarchitectural, bone material property, dynamic histomorphometric, and bone turnover marker data were studied in normal bone mineral density (BMD) post-menopausal women with fragility fracture. Women with fracture had thinner iliac cortices and more… read more here.
