Combining areal DXA bone mineral density and vertebrae postero-anterior width improves the prediction of vertebral strength

OBJECTIVE: Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is an important determinant of bone strength (BS), despite the fact that the correlation between aBMD and BS is relatively weak. Parameters that describe BS more accurately are desired. The aim of this st...
