Beyond the T-Score: A Narrative Clinical Review of Adult Endocrine Osteoporosis Care

Background/Objectives: Bone mineral density (BMD) is fundamental to osteoporosis assessment, but fracture risk is also shaped by fracture history, falls, frailty, secondary causes, age, sex, and treatment context. This narrative review examines clinically relevant information that modifies adult endocrine decision-maki...

Male osteoporosis: pathophysiology, risk assessment, and evidence-based management

Effective care in cases of male osteoporosis requires an integrated risk-based approach that extends beyond BMD to include clinical risk factors, secondary causes, and functional status, and improved recognition and sex-specific management strategies are essential to reduce the fracture burden and improve long-term out...

Clinical and Laboratory Predictors of Bone Mineral Density Trajectories and Osteoporosis Progression: A Retrospective Longitudinal Cohort Study

No routinely measured biomarker demonstrated clinical utility for identifying BMD trajectory in this cohort of Saudi dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry patients, suggesting future studies with explicit treatment tracking and repeated bone-turnover measurements are required for confirmation.
