Abstract excerpt

It is now recognized that quantitative ultrasound (QUS) measures may predict osteoporotic fracture risk independently of bone mineral density. Although many studies have examined genetic and environmental components of bone mineral density and calcaneal QUS measures, few of them were addressed to phalangeal QUS phenotypes, and none to graphic trace parameters. This study aims to evaluate the relative contribution...
