Low-Dose CT Offers Opportunity to Screen for Osteoporosis
Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) chest scans obtained for other reasons may provide opportunistic screening for osteoporosis.

COVID-19 Pandemic Challenges Osteoporosis Management
The COVID-19 pandemic may have negatively impacted osteoporosis management.
Corticosteroid Exposure Affects Bone Health in Those With Asthma
For patients with asthma, oral corticosteroid (OCS) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) use is associated with an increased risk for osteoporosis and fragility fractures.
Education, Screening, and Treatment Reduce Toll of Osteoporosis in Women
In the United States, less than one-quarter of women eligible for bone mineral density testing are screened, leaving many women at risk for fractures.
BMD Testing Rates Low in Men Initiating ADT for Prostate Cancer
The rate of bone mineral density (BMD) testing is low among men with prostate cancer initiating androgen deprivation therapy.
FRAX Without BMD Predicts Risk for Fracture in Adult T1D
Clinical use of FRAX without bone mineral density can be used to identify adults with type 1 diabetes who are at elevated risk for major osteoporotic fracture.
Managing Osteoporotic and Fragility Fractures During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Several studies have assessed the potentially increased rate and the management of osteoporotic and fragility fractures during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Short-Term Romosozumab Highly Effective in RA and Primary Osteoporosis
Researchers evaluated the short-term clinical efficacy of romosozumab in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and primary osteoporosis.
Increased Osteoporotic Fracture Risk With Concomitant GC, PPI Use in RA
Researchers assessed the association between concomitant use of oral glucocorticoids and proton pump inhibitors and osteoporotic fracture risk in rheumatoid arthritis.
Vascular Calcification in COPD Affects Bone Mineral Density, Increases Fractures
Researchers evaluated the association between osteoporosis and vertebral fragility fractures with cardiovascular calcification in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
