Article Synopsis
- Osteoporosis increases the risk of fractures, leading to serious health issues and decreased quality of life, making it crucial to prevent further fractures, particularly the secondary osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs).
- The study analyzed 178 patients who experienced their first OVCF, focusing on demographics, bone mineral density, and pelvic parameters to identify risk factors for a second OVCF.
- Results showed that 38.2% of patients experienced a second OVCF, with lower bone mineral density and a less favorable muscle-to-fat ratio increasing the likelihood, while injection medications were more effective in reducing risk compared to oral medications.
