Riassunto
Diversi studi prospettici hanno dimostrato come la misurazione della massa ossea possa predire il rischio di fratture e questo sembra vero per tutti i tipi di fratture, incluse quelle vertebrali e femorali [1,2] La densità minerale ossea (BMD) risulta significativamente correlata con la resistenza dell’osso [3]. La resistenza, insieme alla probabilità di subire traumi efficienti, è un importante determinante della suscettibilità alle fratture; ne consegue che la BMD è a sua volta correlata con il rischio di fratture [4].
