[The role of biochemical markers of bone turnover in the diagnosis of osteoporosis and predicting fracture risk].

Currently, for the diagnosis of osteoporosis, we search risk factors and measure bone mineral density (BMD) by DXA method. However, bone turnover markers, unused still in practice, have shown an interest especially in the prediction of fracture risk. aim: To determine the relationship between bone markers, BMD and osteoporotic fracture. methods: Prospective study of 65 women referred for measure of BMD during the period between May and August...
