Associations between bone attenuation and prevalent vertebral fractures on chest CT scans differ with vertebral fracture locations

ConclusionsThe association between VFs and BA differed according to VF location. ORs increased from subjects with cVFs to subjects with lcVFs and were highest in subjects with cVFs and lcVFs, indicating that other factors than only BA play a role in the bimodal VF distribution.Trial registrationClinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT00292552
