Trajectories of Areal Bone Mineral Density Significantly Differ by Patterning of Femoral Neck Area and Bone Mineral Content Across the Menopausal Transition
{{output}}
Clinical use of areal bone mineral density (aBMD) to identify fracture risk assumes that aBMD reflects bone mineral content (BMC). Yet, aBMD is calculated using a ratio of BMC and bone area, thus declines in aBMD may reflect a decline in BMC, an increase in bo... ...
