Summary

This study aims to create an early warning system for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) by combining Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) patterns with standard risk factors like bone density. Researchers will follow 200 adults aged 50-79 with new fractures or low bone mass. The goal is to better identify who is at risk, not to test a new treatment.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not testing a treatment. The model may not be accurate enough for widespread use, and results may take years to apply.
