Studies of the epidemiology of osteoporosis and of drug treatments for it have challenged the concept that denser bone means stronger bone. Bone strength or resistance to fracture is not easily measured by routine densitometry, being a function of both density and quality.
对骨质疏松症流行病学及其药物治疗的研究对“骨密度越高意味着骨骼越强健”这一概念提出了挑战。骨骼强度或抗骨折能力不易通过常规骨密度测量来衡量,因为它是密度和质量两者的函数。
