EVALUATION OF THE RISK FACTORS OF ASYMPTOMATIC VERTEBRAL FRACTURES IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN WITH OSTEOPENIA AT THE FEMORAL NECK
Highlights • A high incidence of asymptomatic vertebral fracture was found in osteopenic postmenopausal women. • The number of fractures correlated with a higher risk of estimated major osteoporotic and hip fractures. • Prior fragility fractures are associated with the presence of asymptomatic verte...

Summary: | Highlights • A high incidence of asymptomatic vertebral fracture was found in osteopenic postmenopausal women. • The number of fractures correlated with a higher risk of estimated major osteoporotic and hip fractures. • Prior fragility fractures are associated with the presence of asymptomatic vertebral fractures. • Height loss was a predictor of asymptomatic vertebral fracture in this population, and is easily measured. |
