The purpose of this review is to provide an update on osteoporosis epidemiology. The focus
is on fractures because fractures are the most important clinical consequence of …

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard method for measuring bone
mineral density (BMD) which is most strongly associated with fracture risk. BMD is therefore …

Most fracture risk assessment tools use clinical risk factors combined with bone mineral
density (BMD) to improve assessment of osteoporosis; however, stratifying fracture risk …

Context Whether repeated bone mineral density (BMD) screening improves fracture
prediction in men is uncertain. Objective We evaluated whether a second BMD 7 years after …

Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling in osteoblasts plays critical roles in skeletal
development and bone homeostasis. Our previous studies showed loss of function of …

There is growing evidence linking the age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (aCCI), an
assessment tool for multimorbidity, to fragility fracture and fracture-related postoperative …

Hip fractures are among the most devastating consequences of osteoporosis and are
associated with substantial loss of independence, along with an increased risk of admission …

Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is recommended for osteoporosis screening in men
aged 70 years and older but supportive data is limited. The aim of this study was to …

To determine the association of weight loss with risk of clinical fractures at the hip, spine,
and pelvis (central body fractures [CBFs]) in older men with and without accounting for the …

A recent publication from the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) Study explores the value
of repeat bone mineral density (BMD) measurements in fracture prediction in men, most of …
