Genetic Burden Contributing to Extremely Low or High Bone Mineral Density in a Senior Male Population From the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study (MrOS)

Genetic Burden Contributing to Extremely Low or High Bone Mineral Density in a Senior Male Population From the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study (MrOS)

ABSTRACT Worldwide, one in five men aged over 50 years will experience osteoporosis or a clinical bone fracture, with a greater fracture‐related mortality rate than women.
