Measuring forearm bone density instead of lumbar spine bone density improves the sensitivity of diagnosing osteoporosis in older adults with cardiovascular diseases: Data from SARCOS study

Introduction: In older individuals with cardiovascular diseases, it has been challenging to diagnose osteoporosis due to aortic calcification and degenerative processes in the spine of older adults, especially in very old adults. Aim: To assess whether the distal forearm BMD with the proximal femur...
