Abstract

Osteoporosis is common affecting nearly 28 million women and men in the United States. This is a major problem since the clinical consequence of osteoporosis, fracture, results in morbidity and mortality, and contributes to health care costs (1). The challenge for health care providers is to identify those individuals at risk prior to fracture.
