Abstract:Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease in the world, which increases the healthcare service burden. Recent studies have linked higher white matter hyperintensities (WMH) to reduced bone mineral density (BMD), increasing the risk of fractures and falls in older adults. However, limited evidence exists regarding the dose–response relationship between WMH and bone health in a larger and younger population. Our study aimed to examine the association of WMH volume with BMD, incident fractures and fa… Show more
