The role of bone turnover markers in screening low bone mineral density and their relationship with fracture risk in the postmenopausal period.

Background: Using bone turnover marker (BTM) monitoring to identify "quick losers" who may develop osteoporosis in the coming years is one of the main challenges in clinical practice. This study was implemented to examine the association of BTMs with bone mineral density (BMD) as well as to determine their relationship with the fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) in women in the postmenopausal period.

Materials And Methods: This study was observational cross-sectional research that was done on women between the ages of 50 and 65 who were in the postmenopausal period.
