Lung-related risk factors associate with low bone mineral density in individuals with former tobacco exposure not meeting osteoporosis screening criteria
Emphysema on chest CT scan independently associates with low BMD in tobacco-exposed individuals not meeting traditional osteoporosis screening criteria. These findings suggest that osteoporosis screening recommendations should include emphysema as a risk factor for early BMD assessment.
