Age-related changes in #bone density, microarchitecture and strength in postmenopausal Black and White women: SWAN Longitudinal HR-pQCT Study
Higher fracture risk in White versus Black women is partly explained by lower BMD and worse bone microarchitecture in White women. However, whether rates of decline in bone density, microarchitecture and strength differ between postmenopausal Black and White women is unknown. Further, factors that influence rates of age-related bone microarchitecture deterioration remain ill-defined. Thus, over …
