Is bone microarchitecture status of the lumbar spine assessed by TBS related to femoral neck fracture?
This study shows the potential of TBS to discriminate subjects with and without hip fracture. TBS and LS-BMD combination improves fracture risk prediction. Nevertheless, BMD at hip remains the best predictor of hip fracture.
In conclusion, a marginally zinc-deficient diet is pro-apoptotic for VSMCs and this may contribute to cardiovascular disease.
