Relationships between QUS and HR-pQCT, DXA, and bone turnover markers

ConclusionsModerate correlations were seen between QUS and Tb.vBMD and microarchitecture in the radius and tibia and aBMD of the proximal femur. On the other hand, practically no correlations were seen with Ct.vBMD or Ct.Po and the bone-related biochemical markers. Only in middle age, moderate correlations were seen with Ct.Th in the tibia and with aBMD of the lumbar spine.
