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

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

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

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