Association Between Cortical Bone Microstructure and Statin Use in Older Women

Treatment with statins has been associated with increased bone mineral density, but whether this association depends on differences in cortical or trabecular volumetric bone microstructure is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate if treatment with statins is associated with bone microstructure and geometry in older women. Older women were included in a population-based study of 3028 women (mean age ± SD, 77.8 ± 1.6 years) from the...
