Low bone density and osteoporosis among older adults with Alzheimer`s disease, vascular dementia, and mixed dementia: A Cross-sectional Study With Prospective Enrollment

Abstract

Our study results show that demented elders have a lower BMD and higher frequency of osteoporosis at the hip, but not at the lumbar spine, irrespective of sex and type of dementia. Based on these results, we can speculate that not only AD, but also VaD and AD-VaD may be associated with bone loss at the hip.
