Early detection of osteoporosis in adult children of patients with proximal femur fractures: a real-world screening study
Adult children of patients with proximal femur fractures represent a high-risk group for osteoporosis. Nearly half met treatment thresholds, supporting targeted screening in individuals ≥ 50 years when a parent sustains such a fracture. This approach may enable earlier diagnosis and prevention of osteoporotic fractures.
