Identifying Younger Postmenopausal Women With Osteoporosis Using USPSTF-Recommended Osteoporosis Risk Assessment Tools
In this cross-sectional study, 3 guideline-recommended osteoporosis risk assessment tools had fair to moderate discrimination in identifying osteoporosis defined by lowest BMD at any 1 of 3 skeletal sites. Screening is essential to reducing individual and societal burden of osteoporosis and related fractures, and this study showed a gap in identifying younger postmenopausal women using common clinical risk factors.
