We describe the collection of cohorts together with the analysis plan for an update of the
fracture risk prediction tool FRAX with respect to current and novel risk factors. The resource …

Trabecular bone score (TBS) is a recently-developed analytical tool that performs novel grey-
level texture measurements on lumbar spine dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) images, and …

Several recent studies suggest that obesity may be a risk factor for fracture. The aim of this
study was to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and future fracture …

The measurement of BMD by dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the “gold
standard” for diagnosing osteoporosis but does not directly reflect deterioration in bone …

TO THE EDITOR: Financial incentives can reinforce consumer behavior (for example,
offering money back for using a specific credit card), and these procedures are gaining …

The study objective was to determine whether diabetes is a risk factor for incident hip or
major osteoporotic fractures independent of the WHO fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) …

Type 2 diabetes is a risk factor for fracture independent of FRAX (fracture risk assessment)
probability. We directly compared four proposed methods to improve the performance of …

Background: The study objectives were to determine fracture rates in relation to bone
mineral density at various central skeletal sites, using the World Health Organization …

The aim of the present study was to determine the impact of trabecular bone score on the
probability of fracture above that provided by the clinical risk factors utilized in FRAX. We …

Osteoporosis is a common bone disease characterized by low bone mass and altered bone
microarchitecture, resulting in decreased bone strength with an increased risk of fractures. In …
