Relationship Between Changes in Bone Mineral Density and Vertebral Fracture Risk Associated With Risedronate Greater Increases in Bone Mineral Density Do Not Relate to Greater Decreases in Fracture Risk
Abstract
Low bone mineral density (BMD) is correlated with increased fracture risk. Whether greater BMD increases induced by osteoporosis drugs are related to greater decreases in fracture risk is controversial. We analyzed the relationship between BMD change and fracture risk in postmenopausal osteoporotic women receiving antiresorptive treatment. The analysis combined data from three pivotal risedronate fracture end-point trials. Women received …
