Correlation between the osteoporosis self-assessment tool for Asians index and QCT-derived bone parameters: a cross-sectional analysis of lumbar spine mineral density and content
As a screening tool, the OSTA index can help identify high-risk individuals undergoing spinal surgery who are likely to have low lumbar trabecular BMD and BMC as measured by QCT. Diagnostic thresholds for osteoporosis may be set at lumbar QCT-BMC <663.86 mg in men or <521.65 mg in women.
