Femoral Neck BMD Best Predicts Hip Fracture Risk.
Bone mineral density measured at the femoral neck by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry is the best predictor of hip fracture, according to a new report on osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
Authors of the report, which was issued by the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, based their findings on data from more than 1,200 studies.
Other findings include:
* A woman's likelihood of being diagnosed with osteoporosis depends on the type of bone measurement test used and the number of sites tested, such as the forearm, heel, hip, and spine.
* Repeat bone density tests within the first year of treatment may not be effective in assessing a patient's response to therapy. There ...
