Prediction of Clinical Non-Spine Fractures in Older Black and White Men and Women With Volumetric BMD of the Spine and Areal BMD of the Hip: The Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study

Abstract

Low BMD measured by either spine QCT or hip DXA predicts non-spine fracture in older black and white women and black men. Vertebral TrvBMD is not a stronger predictor than hip aBMD of non-spine fracture.
