June 2004 Bone Quality 2004
June 2004 A systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, with a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. Old Definition of Osteoporosis Conference Report from the Consensus Development Conference. Am J Med 94: , 1993
June 2004 Low baseline bone mineral density (BMD) predicts increased risk of subsequent fractures The magnitude of the increases in BMD with antiresorptive therapies differs greatly, yet the vertebral fracture risk reductions are similar There is only a weak relationship between changes in BMD with antiresorptive therapy and the reduction in risk of new fractures Relationship Between BMD and Fracture
June 2004 What May Contribute to an Increase in BMD? Improvements in mineral and matrix composition Increased bone tissue per unit of bone volume: Filling in remodeling space Widening existing trabeculae Creating new trabeculae Increased bone size
June 2004 Age and Bone Mass as Predictors of Fracture Hui SL et al. J Clin Invest 81: ; 1988 Forearm Bone Mass (g/cm 2 ) Fracture Risk / 1000 Person Year Age (Years) > <0.60 <
June 2004 BMD Change and Fracture Risk Reduction with Antiresorptive Therapy Fracture Risk decreases by 6-12 months, before maximum BMD response has occurred Treatment may reduce fracture risk with little or no change in BMD From regression analyses, only a small proportion of fracture risk reduction is attributable to an increase in BMD

June 2004 Normal bone Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is defined as a skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength predisposing a person to an increased risk of fracture.
