The use of clinical risk factors enhances the performance of BMD in the prediction of hip and osteoporotic fractures in men and women
BMD and clinical risk factors predict hip and other osteoporotic fractures. The combination of clinical risk factors and BMD provide higher specificity and sensitivity than either alone.

Cross-calibration of dual-energy X-ray densitometers for a large, multi-center genetic study of osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a common disease with a strong genetic component characterized by reduced bone mass and an increased risk of fragility fractures. Bone mineral density (BMD) is the most important determinant of...

The Effects of Lifestyle, Dietary Dairy Intake and Diabetes on Bone Density and Vertebral Deformity Prevalence: The EVOS Study
The risk of low and moderate energy fracture is related to bone mineral density (BMD). Yet it is uncertain whether the epidemiologic determinants of fracture risk are the same as for low bone density. The Eur...
