Malnutrition and Spinal Sagittal Malalignment Are Risk Factors for Incidence of New Vertebral Fractures in Patients with Osteoporosis
The 1-year incidence of new VFs was 10.1% among patients with osteoporosis, despite appropriate osteoporosis treatment. These patients also exhibited malnutrition and spinal sagittal malalignment at baseline. Our findings suggest that malnutrition and spinal sagittal malalignment may be independent risk factors for the occurrence of new VFs.
