Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 684 breast cancer patients analyzed the relationship between lean body mass (LBM), fat body mass (FBM), and vertebral fractures (VFs) using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans, ultimately narrowing the focus to 480 women for detailed assessment.
- * Results indicated a significant interaction between LBM, FBM, and AI therapy affecting VF prevalence, with higher fracture rates seen in specific body mass combinations; this highlights the need for further research on body composition's role in fracture risk assessments
