Metabolic Determinants of DXA-Measured Bone Mineral Density

Sponsor: Mardin Artuklu University

Summary

This retrospective observational study will examine bone mineral density measurements and their metabolic and clinical determinants in adults aged 40 years and older. Existing medical records of approximately 300 patients who underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the lumbar spine and femoral neck will be reviewed. The researchers will examine the relationships between DXA measurements and available clinical and laboratory findings. Differences between lumbar spine and femoral neck T-scores, bone mineral density discordance, fracture history, and FRAX fracture risk will also be evaluated. No additional examination, laboratory test, treatment, or intervention will be performed as part of the study.
