The measurement of BMD by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the "gold standard" for diagnosing osteoporosis but does not directly reflect deterioration in bone microarchitecture. The trabecular bone score (TBS), a novel gray-level texture measurement that can be extracted from DXA images, co
## Abstract Data on the association of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) with bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk in men are inconsistent. We studied the association between MetS and bone status in 762 older men followed up for 10 years. After adjustment for age, body mass index, height, physi
