Bone Mineral Density and Fracture Risk in Older Individuals with CKD

[摘要] Background and objectives Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines recommend against bone mineral density (BMD) screening in CKD patients with mineral bone disease, due to a lack of association of BMD with fractures in cross-sectional studies in CKD. We assessed whether BMD is associated with fractures in participants with and without CKD in the Health, Aging, and Body Composition study, a prospective study of well functioning older individuals.
