Summary

This study involved nearly 2,800 older adults to see if bone density and fracture information from routine CT scans could predict future spine fractures better than the standard FRAX risk score. Researchers used CT scans taken for other reasons to measure bone density and check for existing spine fractures. The goal was to improve fracture prediction without extra tests or radiation.
