Fracture risk in Korean postmenopausal women: The influence of BMI, age, and bone density
These findings highlight age as a dominant predictor of fracture risk, while BMI plays a complex, less pronounced role. The discrepancy between osteoporosis prevalence and actual fracture risk, particularly in obese elderly women, suggests limitations in BMD-focused assessments. Simple, measurable parameters like age and BMI should complement BMD in fracture risk evaluation to better target high-risk populations and enhance preventive strategies in clinical practice.
