Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is generally a very useful tool for assessing bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk. However, […]

The assessment of fracture risk often relies primarily on measuring bone mineral density, thereby accounting for only a single pathology:

Based on bone densitometric measurements, weight loss induced by dietary restriction is known to be accompanied by reduced areal bone

Although low bone mineral density (BMD) is strongly associated with increased fracture risk, up to 50% of those who suffer

Patients with type 2 diabetes display a unique skeletal phenotype with either normal or more frequently increased, bone mineral density

Glucocorticoids, widely used in inflammatory disorders, rapidly increase bone fragility and, therefore, fracture risk. However, common bone densitometry measurements are

In contrast to traditional approaches to fracture risk assessment using clinical risk factors and bone mineral density (BMD), a new
