Osteoporosis Risk Profile for Peri-and Postmenopausal Women Attending Menopause Clinics in Italy

Abstract:
Bone mineral density (BMD) is the best predictor of osteoporotic fractures since each
standard deviation decline is associated with a 2-or 3-fold increase in the risk of fracture,
depending on the skeletal site evaluated. It would be of interest to look for relations between
BMD and risk factors for osteoporosis (such as body mass index (BMI), menopausal status,
menarcheal age).
