Bone marrow fat composition as a novel imaging biomarker in postmenopausal women with prevalent fragility fractures

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 04/05/2013 Clinical Article
Patsch J.M. et al.– The goal of this MR–imaging study was to quantify vertebral bone marrow fat content and composition in diabetic and non–diabetic postmenopausal women with fragility fractures and to compare them with non–fracture controls with and without type–2 diabetes mellitus.The study results suggest that altered bone marrow fat composition is linked with fragility fractures and diabetes. MRS of spinal bone marrow fat may therefore serve as a novel tool for BMD–independent fracture risk assessment.
