Acromegaly versus hypogonadism: bone fragility and evaluation

CONCLUSIONS: Vertebral fractures are frequent in acromegaly, and are associated with lower BMD but not with TBS. Patients with acromegaly, regardless of gonadal status, have significantly higher BMD but lower TBS than hypogonadal patients. Moreover, disease activity and hypogonadism do not influence BMD, TBS or VF in acromegaly.PMID:37689348 | DOI:10.1016/j.ando.2023.08.005
