Study finds premenopausal bone mineral density (BMD), postmenopausal BMD, and rate of lumbar spine BMD decline to be risk factors for fracture.

Differences in bone density and FRAX fracture risk scores among Black and Asian women yield greater discordance in fracture risk estimation compared with White women.

Cortical, trabecular bone measures at the distal radius and tibia, as measured by high-resolution peripheral quantitative CT, can help predict fracture risk when BMD alone shows no osteoporosis.

While absolute fracture risk was increased in older women and women with previous fractures for any T-score level, the inverse relationship between T-score and fracture risk achieved during ...

The addition of zoledronic acid to aromatase inhibitors is associated with improved bone mineral density, but not with an effect on clinically-meaningful end points such as fractures. The oncology ...

Measuring bone mineral density 3 years after a baseline assessment does not improve the accuracy of fracture risk prediction in healthy postmenopausal women, according to new research.

Bone mineral density at the femoral neck and total hip is a potential surrogate for fracture risk in clinical trials of osteoporosis drugs, according to findings presented at the American Society ...

AUSTIN, Texas – One year of romosozumab (Evenity) followed by 1 year of denosumab (Prolia, Xgeva) was associated with improved bone mineral density (BMD) and lower fracture incidence compared ...

Validation of surrogate endpoints for fracture could potentially lead to shorter and less expensive clinical trials, possibly spurring innovations of new drugs and procedures which might otherwise ...

Increased genetic risk for Graves’ disease, autoimmune thyroiditis or hyperthyroidism is not associated with low bone mineral density or fracture risk, according to an analysis of UK Biobank data.

Antiosteoporotic medications reduce fracture risk regardless of initial bone mineral density (BMD), according to study results published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research.
