Abstract excerpt
Most studies that have examined the role of skeletal factors in the relationship between an individual's family history of fracture or osteoporosis and their fracture risk have focused on bone density. In this study, we expanded the scope of skeletal factors to include geometric properties (subperiosteal width, section modulus, cortical thickness, and buckling ratio) in addition to areal bone mineral density...
