Description
Shiqiang Wu and co-authors test three blood markers of bone turnover as predictors of bone loss and repeat fractures, in work from twenty twenty-five. Osteoporosis thins bone and raises fracture risk. Markers of bone build up and break down could flag risk sooner than scans alone.
One hundred eighty patients and eighty healthy controls were compared. All three markers ran higher in patients and rose further in those with fractures. Higher markers tracked lower bone density at the spine and hip. Each marker stood as an independent risk factor for a second fracture. Joined with density scans, the trio predicted risk with high accuracy. The authors back adding them to clinic risk tools.
