Prevalent vertebral fractures and minor vertebral deformities analyzed by vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) increases the risk of incident fractures in postmenopausal women: the FRODOS study.

Unlabelled: The incidence of vertebral fractures (VF) by vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) was 6.6% in postmenopausal women (FRODOS cohort) after 4 years of follow-up, increasing with prevalent VF and minor vertebral deformities, age, lower bone mass, glucocorticoid use, and rheumatoid arthritis. This study supports the usefulness of VFA to identify VF.

Usefulness of the Trabecular Bone Score for assessing the risk of osteoporotic fracture.

Introduction And Objectives: The trabecular bone score (TBS) is an imaging technique that assesses the condition of the trabecular microarchitecture. Preliminary results suggest that TBS, along with the bone mineral density assessment, could improve the calculation of the osteoporotic fracture risk. The aim of this study was to analyse TBS values and their relationship with the clinical characteristics, bone mineral density and history of fractures of a cohort of posmenopausal women.

Concordance between direct and indirect measurements of free 25-OH vitamin D.

Unlabelled: At present, data comparing the quantification methods for measurement of free vitamin D (direct assay [direct 25-OHD] and estimated by calculation [calculated 25-OHD]), are scarce. The aim of this study was to analyse the concordance between these two methods of 25-OHD analysis (direct vs. calculated).
