Catalano A, et al. -Given the increasing interest in the association of psychiatric disorders with fracture risk, researchers examined the role of severity of anxiety in bone health. In postmenopausal women referred for osteoporosis, they determined multiple clinical risk factors for fractures, the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool score, the bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine and femoral neck, Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale scores, Beck Depression Inventory scores, and the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey scores for evaluation of the quality of life, and carried out X-ray vertebral morphometry. Results indicated that BMD in the lumbar spine and femoral neck was associated with anxiety levels in postmenopausal women.
