Bone microstructure in men assessed by HR-pQCT: Associations with risk factors and differences between men with normal, low, and osteoporosis-range areal BMD
Bone microstructure of the ultra-distal radius and tibia was analyzed by HR-pQCT. The subjects consisted of 78 healthy male volunteers ranging from 50 to 84 years. Cortical bone was more impaired with age compared with trabecular bone. Cortical porosity was increased with age, particularly at the ultra-distal tibia.
