Vertebral body morphology is associated with incident lumbar vertebral fracture in postmenopausal women. The OFELY study

摘要

We investigate the predictive role of vertebral anterior cortical curvature and height heterogeneity in the occurrence of vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women. Women who will fracture had shorter vertebral height, greater heterogeneity of height than those who will not fracture, and their anterior vertebral body edge was less concave.
