摘要
In this issue, Kern and colleagues report that a cohort of older women and men who underwent bone mineral density (BMD) measurement at the hip had a lower rate of hip fractures than a cohort who did not have this testing. Although confounding may explain these results, we should recommend BMD testing, preferably of the hip, to white women older than 65 years of age and to younger women with strong risk factors for fracture.
