Bone mineral density (BMD) is the best predictor of osteoporotic fractures since each standard deviation decline is associated with a 2-or 3-fold increase in the risk of fracture, depending on the skeletal site evaluated. It would be of interest to look for relations between BMD and risk factors for osteoporosis (such as body mass index (BMI), menopausal status, menarcheal age).

Abstract
Bone mineral density (BMD) is the best predictor of osteoporotic fractures since each standard deviation decline is associated with a 2-or 3-fold increase in the risk of fracture, depending on the skeletal site evaluated. It would be of interest to look for relations between BMD and risk factors for osteoporosis (such as body mass index (BMI), menopausal status, menarcheal age).File in questo prodotto:
