Menopause Oct 06, 2019
Torgutalp SS, et al. - In this study of 53 postmenopausal healthy women, the mean trabecular bone score (TBS) values were determined and an assessment of an overall association between TBS and demographic features, bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine and femoral neck, and BMD to BMI ratio of the lumbar spine was performed. The mean BMD of the lumbar spine was 0.945 ± 0.133 and the femoral neck was 0.785 ± 0.112 g/cm2, respectively. The mean TBS of 1.354 ± 0.107 was estimated. The analysis revealed a negative correlation of TBS values of postmenopausal women with age and BMI and a positive correlation with BMD and BMD to BMI ratio.
