- Abstract
The article reports on the results of research which was conducted in an effort to estimate the relationship between longitudinal change in bone mineral density and fragility fractures. Researchers studied 3,635 women and 1,417 men between the ages of 50 and 85. Researchers found that bone mineral density change in both men and women is an independent risk factor for fragility fractures and also predicts fracture risk in people with osteopenia.
