Osteoporosis is the reduction of bone mass and disruption of bone microarchitecture involving 55% of the population aged over 50 years. 1,2 Risk of osteoporotic fractures increases with reduction of bone mass density (BMD). 3 Osteoporosis is diagnosed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measuring bone mass density and is defined as T-score ≤−2.5 at hip, spine or femur. 4
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
