DOI: 10.1136/annrheumdis-2018-eular.7032
Abstract: Background Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterised by a compromised bone resistance that predisposes a subject to an increased risk of fracture. In particular, vertebral fractures are the most common of all osteoporotic fractures.… read more here.
