Abstract:Context: Calcaneal quantitative ultrasound (QUS) is attractive as a pre-screening tool for osteoporosis, alternative to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Bone turnover markers (BTMs) are represented as bone formation indicators. QUS and BTM analysis may provide osteoporosis screening and bone turnover status, which provide benefit for osteoporosis management. Aims: The aims of this study were (1) to compare the values of bone mineral density (BMD) and BTMs, including N-terminal extension propeptide of type-I c… Show more
