## Abstract Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) measured by dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) identifies 20% of men who will sustain fragility fractures. Thus we need better fracture predictors in men. We assessed the association between the low‐trauma prevalent fractures and bone microarchitect
## Abstract ## Objective Thirty percent of hip fractures occur in men; nevertheless, the determinants of osteoporosis in men are unclear. ## Methods We assessed the association of ultrasound‐derived bone mineral density (UD‐BMD) with depressive symptoms in a population‐based study. We assessed t
## Abstract Serum uric acid (UA) is a strong endogenous antioxidant. Since oxidative stress has been linked to osteoporosis, we examined the association between serum UA levels and bone mineral density (BMD), prevalent vertebral and nonvertebral fractures, and laboratory measures such as calcitropi
