Riassunto
Il recente completamento di trial clinici sull’attività antifrattura degli inibitori del turnover osseo ha sollevato la questione se la variazione osservata nella densità minerale ossea (DMO) spieghi completamente l’efficacia antifrattura.
Per rispondere a questa domanda, è necessario identificare una relazione normativa tra DMO e rischio di fratture vertebrali morfometriche.
